PRINTED AT THE GOVERNMENT CENTRAL PRESS.
Vaccination Report.
No. 2473.
GENERAL DEPARTMENT.
Bombay Castle, 27th August 1874.
Letter from the Surgeon General, Indian Medical Department, No. 2085,
dated 9th July 1874—Forwarding, with his remarks and suggestions, the
annual report on vaccination throughout the Presidency and Sind for the
year 1873-74.
RESOLUTION.—His Excellency in Council has read this very complete
report with much interest and satisfaction. In almost every respect it shows
a marked improvement on the preceding year. All the officers have evidently
done their best for the progress of Vaccination in the Presidency. and their
efforts have been attended with success.
2. The saving which was effected by the re-organization of the Depart-
ment in 1871 was, under the orders of Government, expended on the improve-
ment of the Department, and the scheme proposed by Dr. Turnbull for dispos-
ing of the amount was brought into effect from November last. There are
now 9 Circles ; and the strength of the whole establishment during the year, as
compared with that of 1872-73, was as follows:—
1872-73

dent General.

Only 6 of the Vaccinators were paid by Government ; the rest were paid by
Local Funds, Municipalities or Native States.
3. The number of vaccinations and re-vaccinations during the year was
6,52,223, being 63,866 more than that of the previous year. The increase is
distributed thus:—
Itinerary Establishment ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Dispensary

Army
do. ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
61,684
1,358

There is little doubt of the correctness of the returns, as a large percentage,
nearly 50 per cent. on the average, was verified, and only one register was
found incorrect. The whole result is an evidence of the good effects of the
re-organization, and it may also be regarded as showing an increasing ap-
preciation of vaccination on the part of the people.
4. His Excellency in Council is glad to observe that there has been a
large increase (37,059) in the vaccination of infants, who suffer most from
small-pox, and have therefore most need of protection. In this respect Bombay
stands highest, where the percentage was 65.3; it was lowest in the Southern
Circle, being only 25.
5. The success in primary vaccinations among the civil population was
94.8, in the army it was only 90.9. For re-vaccinations it was 65.7 in the
general returns, 48.2 in the army. If, as Dr. Pinkerton states, the success in
(2)
primary vaccinations should be 99 per cent., there is evidently much room
for improvement, especially in the army.
6. The returns still show a disparity between the number of males and
females vaccinated. This is greatest in the city of Bombay, where the males
number 55 per cent. of the whole. For the Presidency generally there are
52.8 males to 47.2 females vaccinated. The cause is propably to be found in
the feelings and usages of Native Society. It is satisfactory to observe from
a comparison of the results of previous years that there is a gradual decline
in the excess of males.
7. The percentages of caste stand very much the same as in the reports
of previous years. It is to be hoped that by the completion of the census it
will become practicable in future years to show what proportion they bear to
each section of the population ; but it is evident that some castes have greater
prejudices than others against vaccination. The strongest opposition is
experienced from the Lingayats in Dharwar, Sholapur and elsewhere, who
object particularly to lymph being taken from the vaccinated child's arm.
This difficulty might be successfully met by Dr. Turnbull's suggestion to the
Barsi Municipality to introduce animal vaccination, being generally adopted.
8. There was an increase of Rs. 5,281-7-5 in the total expenditure
during the year, owing principally to the increase of establishment. On the
other hand there was a decrease of 6 pies in the cost of each successful vacci-
nation, but it varies considerably in the different establishments, being as
follows:—

It is highest in the city of Bombay, Rs. 1-1-3. One cause of this is that
there is a Superintendent for so small a Circle, his pay adding seven annas
to the cost of each successful case. Elsewhere also the cost is largely influ-
enced by the Superintendent's pay. Dr. Pinkerton suggests that no town
with less than a population of 20,000 should maintain a Municipal Vaccina-
tor. His Excellency in Council cannot concur, and considers that at any
rate the matter should be left to the discretion of the Municipalities them-
selves.
The total expenditure of the Department during the year under report
was Rs. 2,16,076-8-4, contributed by the different sources in the follow-
ing proportions :—
Imperial .................
Municipal ..............
Local Funds ..........
Native States .........

9. The one unsatisfactory feature is the comparatively high cost of each
successful vaccination, which on an average amounts to Rs. 0-6-2, and which
is understood to be considerably higher than that incurred in any other pro-
vince in India. The Superintendent General, assuming that the population
of the Presidency is 24½ millions, estimates the births at 7,35,000 per annum.
If one-thirteenth be written off for deaths, there would remain 6,78,462 child¬
(4)
15. Government are glad to learn that their orders with respect to ex-
aminations have been so promptly attended to, all the Superintendents but
one, who is acting, having already passed in a vernacular language. They
are also pleased to endorse the view of the Surgeon General with regard to
the nature of the work done by the Department, and concur in the com-
mendations bestowed on the Superintendent General, and Drs. Williams,
Butler, Cody and Cola. Dr. Turnbull conducted the duties of Acting
Superintendent General during the absence of Dr. Pinkerton to the entire
satisfaction of Government.
16. It has been suggested by the Army Sanitary Commission that the
Vaccination Establishment should be associated with the Sanitary Establish-
ment, and in this opinion Government are disposed to concur. As long as at
present the Sanitary Commissioner's duties are mainly limited to the com-
pilation of vital statistics of more than doubtful reliability, but insignificant
practical results can be looked for. What is wanted is periodical personal
inspection of the large Towns; and as far as possible personal supervision
over the preparation of the Returns of vital statistics. The existing very com-
plete organization of the Vaccination Department, with an Assistant Super-
intendent for each Collectorate, a Superintendent over each Circle, and a
Superintendent General over the whole, affords, in the opinion of His Excel-
lency the Governor in Council, the best means of securing these important
ends. Authority might also be given with advantage to the Vaccination
officers to inspect the village Registers of Births.
17. Government are glad to observe that the assistance given to the
Department by Civil and Political Officers is duly acknowledged. Their
countenance and support are essential to success.
18. The plan introduced by Dr. Pinkerton for the first time of giving
in his report a separate sketch of the operations in each Collectorate is very
convenient. His suggestion too in respect to maps is valuable, and he is
authorized to apply to the Survey Commissioners for as many copies of both
Taluka and District Maps as he may require for the use of the Department.
