IN THE PUNJAB
FOR THE YEAR 1889-90.

Read—
The Report on Vaccination in the Punjab for the official year 1889-90, by Surgeon-Major
A. STEPHEN, M. A., M B., Sanitary Commissioner, Punjab.
REMARKS.—This Report, which is due with the Local Government on the
15th of June and with the Government of India on the 1st of July, was
received from the Sanitary Commissioner in good time. Under the orders of the
Government of India in the Home Department Resolution No. 28—1579-95,
dated the 15th of July 1887, a full report on vaccination operations is required
every third year. The last report of this kind having been prepared for the
year 1886-87, Dr. Stephen has submitted a full report for the year 1889-90.

2. Vaccination in the Punjab continues to be performed by an
establishment-divided into four branches, and termed respectively the District,
Dispensary, Cantonment and Special staffs.
The District and Dispensary
staffs work throughout the Province generally. The Cantonment staff, as its
name implies, works in the military stations; the operations of the Special
staff are carried out in the Native States, except
in the case of those States noted on the margin
which have their own vaccination establish-
ments. The Special staff also assists the District
Vaccinators when required. In the summer months it works in the hills, and
keeps up a supply of lymph for use by the District and other staffs.
3. The following table shows the strength of the vaccination establish-
ments, the total number of operations—primary and re-vaccinations—performed,
and the cost incurred during the year 1889-90 :—

The Dispensary vaccinations are performed without any extra cost by the
existing establishment of Civil Surgeons, Assistant Surgeons, Hospital Assistants,
Compounders and Hakíms. The cost of the District establishment is met from
Municipal and District Funds ; that of the Cantonment staff from Cantonment
Funds ; while the cost of the Special staff is defrayed by Provincial revenues.
4. Nine more Vaccinators were employed in the year under review
(1889-90) than in the previous year, although 8,185 fewer operations were per-
formed. This falling-off is due to less work done by the Special, Cantonment
and Dispensary staffs than in the year 1888-89. The District staff actually
performed 27,969 more vaccinations in 1889-90 than in 1888-89, and, as the
nine additional vaccinators were employed on that staff, their entertainment
seems to have had beneficial results. The work of the District staff has

The tri-ennial period just closed has also seen the formal extension of
Act XIII of 1880 (The Vaccination Act) to the Municipality of Simla and
to the Cantonment of Kasauli, and almost immediately after the close of the
year 1889-90 the Act was also extended to the Municipality of Umballa, and
the question of its introduction into the city of Rohtak is now under considera-
tion. Schedules of the vaccination establishments to be maintained by
Municipal Committees and District Boards have also been laid down, and the
matter thus placed on a proper footing. Altogether the tri-ennial period just
closed has been on the whole one of very satisfactory progress in vaccination in
the Punjab.
ORDER.—Ordered that the above Remarks be communicated to the
Sanitary Commissioner of the Punjab for information. Ordered also, that the
Review be printed and circulated with the Report as usual.
Also, that it be published in the Punjab Gazette, and that copies, with
the usual number of copies of the Report, be forwarded to the Government of
India in the Home Department.

To

Offg. Chief Secretary to Government, Punjab,
Dated LAHORE, the 2nd June 1890.
SIR,
I have the honor to forward the Vaccination Statements for the year
1889-90, with the following remarks.
Officers in charge of the
Special Vaccination Staff.
2. Surgeon-Major J. O'Neill was in charge of the Special Vaccination
Staff till the 7th of November 1889. On that date he gave
over charge to Surgeon Dyson, who remained in charge of
the Special Staff till the end of the season.
Changes in the District
Vaccination Establishment.
3. There were on an average nine more Vaccinators employed than in
the previous year. The number of Vaccinators of the
1st class was increased by three and that of the 3rd
class by seven ; the number in the 2nd class was diminished by one.
In Karnál the number of Vaccinators, eight, remains the same as in
1888-89 ; but, instead of there being three Vaccinators in the 2nd class and
five in the 3rd, there are now three in the 1st class, two in the 2nd and
three in the 3rd. The staff in the Kángra District was increased by four 3rd
Class Vaccinators. In the Mooltan, as well as in the Jhang District, there was
on an average one more 3rd Class Vaccinator at work than in the previous year,
and in the Grujránwála District the number of 3rd Class Vaccinators was
increased by three.

establishments.

work of re-vaccination was much neglected in the district of Muzaffargarh, in
which only 2 operations were done. The number of operations of this kind done
in Pesháwar, Bannu and Hazára was very small, but in these frontier districts
the Vaccinators possibly met with special difficulties. Very little attention seems
to have been paid to re-vaccination in the districts of Karnál and Shahpur, in
which the numbers of operations done were, respectively, 58 and 158.

increase in the number of
vaccinations were recorded

From this statement it will be seen that there was an increase in the
number of operations done by the District Staff over the number vaccinated in
1888-89 in 22 out of the 31 districts of the Province.
The greatest increase was observed in Gujránwála, in which district 21,828
more operations were done than in the previous year. The increase was prin-
cipally due to the greater number of re-vaccinations performed. There were
28,939 cases of re-vaccination against 6,207 in 1888-89. It is worthy of
remark that only 12.79 per cent. of the cases of re-vaccination in this district were
successful, whereas the average percentage obtained by the District Staff for
the Province was 50.94. The Civil Surgeon of Gujránwála took much interest
in the vaccination work of his district; in future years he ought, however, to
direct his Vaccinators to re-vaccinate only suitable cases.
5
There was also a large increase in the number of vaccinations done in
the districts of Gurdáspur and Gurgáon, the excess over last year having been re-
spectively 13,329 and 10,554. In these districts there were also many more
re-vaccinations done than in 1888-89; the increase in Gurdáspur was 9,380 and
in Gurgáon 5,584. There was also a satisfactory increase over last year in the
numbers vaccinated in the districts of Amritsar, Mooltan, Hissár, Jhang and
Rohtak.

The district of Kángra heads this list with 57,093 fewer vaccinations
than in the previous year. In both years the number of operations was larger
than we can hope to obtain in future years. There were 7,477 fewer vaccina-
tions done in Siálkot District, due to the fact that the tahsíl of Zafarwál was
done by the men of the Special Staff. The amount of vaccination work done
in the Karnál District is considerably less than that done last year. As the
Civil Surgeon has not submitted his Annual Vaccination Report, the cause of the
decrease is not known. There was a considerable decrease in the number of
operations done in the districts of Dera Ismail Khan and Muzaffargarh. Two
of the Vaccinators of the Dera Ismail Khan District have been fined for laziness,
and the Native Supervisor has been informed that, if the results are not con-
siderably better next year, he will be reduced and transferred to another district.
The Native Supervisor of the Muzaffargarh District has been fined for the
unsatisfactory manner in which he has carried on his duties.

13. The average number of vaccinations done by each Vaccinator is
given in column 7 of State-
ment No. I, and in the
margin are entered the dis-
tricts in which the ratios
were largest. Owing to the
very large number of re-vac-
cinations done in Kángra, the
average number done by each
Vaccinator in that district is
very much higher than in any
other district. As the tem-
perature is comparatively
low in Kángra throughout
the year, the work is not
6
suspended during the hot weather months. The climate of Hazára is also tem-
perate, hence the number of vaccinations done by each Vaccinator in that district
is comparatively large. The average number of operations done by each man
in the Gujránwála, Amritsar and Gurdáspur Districts is very high. The average
amount done by the Vaccination Staff of the Hoshiárpur and Gurgáon Districts
was also very satisfactory.

In the margin are given the districts in which the average number of
operations done by each Vac-
cinator was small. The
amount of vaccination work
done by the Vaccinator in
Simla is small because there
are comparatively few child-
ren in the station. The in-
habitants of the frontier
districts of Pesháwar, Kohát,
Bannu and Dera Ismail
Khan are more ignorant and
prejudiced' than those of the rest of the Punjab; hence the smaller number of
vaccinations performed. The amount of work done by the Vaccinators of the
Dera Ismail Khan District contrasts very badly with that done in the neighbour-
ing districts of Dera Gházi Khan and Bannu. As in former years, the average
amount of work done by each Vaccinator in the Delhi District was small.
The districts in which
the ratios per 1,000 of po-
pulation of persons success-
fully vaccinated were high.
14. The 16th column of Statement I. gives the ratios per 1,000 of popu-
lation of persons successfully vaccinated in each district,

the ratios are highest:—

For reasons given above, Kángra heads the list with the very large ratio of
141.95 per 1,000 of population successfully vaccinated. The ratio per 1,000
of population of persons successfully vaccinated in the Amritsar District, 64.44, is
also particularly satisfactory, and reflects credit on the Civil Surgeon and the
Vaccination Staff. Mr. Nicholl, the Secretary of the Amritsar Municipal Com-
mittee and of the District Board, takes much interest in the vaccination work of
the district. The districts of Mooltan, Gurdáspur, Dera Gházi Khan and Jhang
also give very satisfactory ratios. The high ratio obtained in the frontier
district of Dera Gházi Khan is particularly gratifying.
