LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT (PUBLIC HEALTH) DEPARTMENT
No. 1977, P.H., 8th August 1929
Vaccination—Report for the triennium ending 1928-29—Reviewed.
READ—the following paper :—
Letter from Capt. N. R. UBHAYA,
L.R C.P. & S., D.P.H., Acting Director
of Public Health, Madras, to the Secretary to Government, Local Self¬
Government (Public Health,) Department, dated Madras, the 29th June
1929, No. 24291 D. 10/ V.
Order—No. 1977, P.H., dated 8th August 1929.
Recorded.
2. The percentage of successful vaccination in local fund and municipal
areas continued to increase. There was also some improvement in infantile
vaccination. There were fewer deaths from smallpox in 1928-29 than in some
recent years, though the figure was slightly more than in 1927-28.
3. Local bodies do not yet seem to have fully realized the importance of
vaccination. There are numerous defects in administration which should be
remedied as promptly as possible.
Some local bodies granted leave to vaccinators without substitutes, during
the off-season. This should not be done, as the off-season should be utilized by
the Health staff for the careful investigation of vital statistics and the detection
of unprotected cases.
It is regrettable that union boards which are statutorily responsible for
vaccination are indifferent to the work and do not maintain the register of
unprotected cases properly. The President, Taluk Board, Pattukkottai, is reported
to have sanctioned only one out of 49 vaccination prosecutions recommended by
the Health staff. He and other presidents of local boards should realize that
such misplaced leniency has a fatally deterrent effect on the progress of
vaccination. Compulsory vaccination wherever introduced should be enforced
and the presidents of local boards are requested to sanction promptly the prose
cutions recommended by the District Health Officers, unless there are special
reasons to the contrary.
4. The Director of Public Health reports that instances where the Revenue
authorities failed to report the occurrence of smallpox or greatly delayed inti
mating the outbreak of the disease, continued during the triennium. The
attention of all Collectors is invited to this defect and they are once again
requested to take necessary action effectively to prevent such failures or delays.
It is reported that in the districts of Rāmnad and Tinnevelly and in the
Rajahmundry Municipality vaccination offences are punished with special
leniency. The attention of all District Magistrates is invited to the necessity for
imposing deterrent punishments in vaccination offences.
5. Cases are again reported in which Health Officers were not consulted in
the matter of appointment, transfer, leave, etc., of the vaccinators. This
hampers the vaccination work which is under the control of the Health Officer.
2
No. 1977, P.H., 8TH AUGUST 1929
The presidents of local boards are therefore requested to consider the desirability
of delegating to their Health Officers their executive powers in respect of the
vaccination staff.
The essential point which should receive the attention of local bodies in the
interests of efficient administration of vaccination is the provision of an adequate
vaccination staff adequately paid. The number of first-class vaccinators employed
during 1928-29 was 20 less than the number employed in the previous year and
this is to be regretted. The example of Malabar in having appointed a female
vaccinator for the gosha community is commended to other local bodies.
6. The conduct of vaccination in non-compilsory areas is reported to be
unsatisfactory. The remedy suggested is to make vaccination compulsory in
these areas. The district boards concerned are requested to take up the question
for consideration as early as possible.
