Abstract
An investigation on smallpox vaccination scars and smallpox pock-marks, covering 1,055 children in 11 primary schools of a Bundelkhand rural community, was carried out during April to November 1976 with the view of studying, amongst the primary school children, the group susceptible to smallpox in the area. Analysis revealed a vaccination scar-rate of 92.98 per cent and smallpox scar (podk-marks) rate of 2.56 per cent. About 6 per cent (5.78%) children were observed to be susceptible to the disease. A need for carrying out such scar-surveys in various pockets of the area has been emphasized.
