VACCINATION
The old Gazetteer of Ahmadnagar [Ahmadnagar District Gazetteer, 1884, pp. 584-85.] in its reference to the vaccination work says that in 1883-84 under the supervision of the Deputy Sanitary Commissioner the work of vaccination was carried on by thirteen vaccinators. Of these, twelve were distributed over the rural parts of the district, while one vaccinator attended to the work in Ahmadnagar town. Besides these vaccinators the medical officers of the two dispensaries at Shevgaon and Nevasa performed vaccine operations. The total number of operations was 27,895 in 1883-84 exclusive of 244 re-vaccinations,
compared with 10,531 primary vaccinations in 1869-70.
