LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT (PUBLIC HEALTH) DEPARTMENT
G.O. No. 1415-P.H., 13th August 1926
Vaccination—Report of the Director of Public Health for the triennium ending
1925-26—Reviewed.
READ—the following paper:—
Letter from Major A. J. H. BUSSELL, M.D., D.P.H., I.M.S., Director of
Public Health, Madras, to the Secretary to Government, Local Self-Govern-
ment (Public Health) Department, dated Ootacamund, the 28th June 1926,
No. D. 46.
Order—No. 1415-P.H., dated 13th August 1926.
Recorded.
2. The salient features in the administration of vaccination during the
triennium ending 1925-26 are enumerated in paragraph 24 of the Director's
report.
3. The Government are glad to note the good work performed by district
health staffs, particularly those of Coimbatore and North Arcot districts, in
bringing to light cases of unregistered and unprotected children. It is reported
that many thousands of such cases were discovered. The Director states that
registration work is often deliberately neglected, because the registrars are
confident that shortcomings will be made good by the Public Health staff. Before
Government take any action on this statement, they desire that the Director
of Public Health should bring to their notice through the Collectors concerned
specific instances of such deliberate neglect.
The Government observe with regret that in municipal areas insufficient
attention was devoted to the work of detecting unrecorded births and unprotected
children during the off-season. It is hoped, however, that with the increase in
the number of municipal health officers now being employed, there will be gradual
improvement in this respect.
4. The following causes which have retarded the progress of vaccination in
the past continued to operate during 1925-26:—
(a) non-introduction of compulsory vaccination ;
(b) the reluctance of local bodies to enforce the regulations where compul-
sory vaccination has been introduced ;
(c) the failure of several local bodies to employ an adequate and duly
qualified staff of vaccinators and to fill up temporary vacancies ;
(d) the inaccurate manner in which village vaccination registers are
maintained;
(e) the activities of anti-vaccinationists;
(f) non-receipt by the health staff of prompt intimation of the outbreak of
smallpox.
District Boards will be requested to consider carefully whether it is not
possible to introduce compulsory vaccination into further areas, with due regard
to the provisions of G.O. No. 789-P.H., dated 11th May 1923, and to see that all
reasonable and proper steps are taken to make compulsory vaccination effective
in areas where it has been introduced.
As regards the deficiencies in the staff employed, the Government have in
G.O. No. 931-P.H., dated 2nd June 1926, pointed out to all Municipal Councils
that persons who do not possess the requisite qualifications should not be appointed

In this connexion, it may be noted that, in Ganjām. District, two Taluk
boards have accepted the proposal to provide a reserve set of vaccinators'
equipment for use in case of emergency, this being kept in charge of the District
Health Officer. This arrangement is undoubtedly sound and is commended for
adoption by other Taluk-Boards in the Presidency.

As compared with 1925-26, the figures for the present year record increases
in eleven districts and decreases in the others. Marked increases are reported from
South Arcot(+11,539), Agency districts (+ 10,607), Ganjām (+5,100), Bellary
(+4,530), Kurnool (+3,858) and Coimbatore (+3,235). The increase in South
Arcot District is ascribed to the better registration of births, the detection of a large
number of unregistered unprotected children and the appointment of additional
temporary vaccinators. In the Agency Districts, the large increase is due to the
appointment of eight additional vaccinators consequent on the formation of four
new ranges. In Ganjām, the introduction of compulsory vaccination throughout
the district, the increased minima demanded of the vaccinators and the large

The slight increase in the already high percentage of success for primary and
secondary vaccinations is pleasing evidence of the continued potency of the
glycerine lymph issued by the King Institute, and of the high standard of work
done by the vaccination staffs throughout the Presidency. The small decrease in
the success rate for revaccinations calls for no remark.
23. The percentages of success for the different administrative areas in the
Presidency are given in the following table :—

The rates for the Agency Tracts are always slightly lower than those for other
parts of the Presidency. This must be expected, but a figure of over 90 per cent
requires no excuses.
