LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT (PUBLIC HEALTH) DEPARTMENT
G.O. No. 1993-P.H., 28th September 1925
Vaccination—Report of the Director of Public Health for 1924-25—Reviewed.
READ—the following paper:—
Letter from Major A. J. H RUSSELL, M.A., 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 25th June 1925.
Order—No. 1993-P.H., dated 28th September 1925.
Recorded.
2. The progress in vaccination work which followed the introduction of the
Health Scheme was steadily maintained in the year under review. There was
marked improvement in
(1) the total number of operations performed which exceeded 2 millions
(2,033,997)—an increase of 121,432 over the previous year's figures ;
(2) the total number (1,542,419) of successful cases which reached a
percentage of 83.7 compared with 81.7 in the previous year and 69.6 in 1920-21;
(3) the total number (652,157) of successful infantile vaccination, which
increased by 79,327;
(4) the decrease in the cost per successful case—5 annas 9 pies against
8 annas 9 pies in 1923-24 ; and
(5) the decrease in the number of deaths (20,227) from smallpox which
was 2,000 less than in the previous year.
3. There was an increase in the number of operations in 17 districts and a
decrease in 8, Guntūr (plus 23,321) standing highest and Malabar (minus
25,782) being last in this respect. The highest success rate per mille of popu
lation was recorded in the Nilgiris (71.5) while South Arcot (25.8) had the lowest
record. With the exception of Nellore and Rāmnād districts there has been a
general improvement in infantile vaccination. Trichinopoly stands first with
an increased rate of 21.0 per cent.
4. In municipalities an increase of 53,463 was recorded in the operations
performed. Madras showed an increase of 40,361. Seven other municipalities
also recorded increases while there were decreases in twelve. It is observed
that while decrease in the number of operations is an obvious sign of slack
ness, the fact that there has been an increase is by no means a sure or correct
index of real improvement. The increase is in many cases due to actual or
threatened outbreaks of smallpox. The maximum and minimum rates of suc
cessful cases per mille of population in municipalities were 153 in Ongole and
20.2 in Tiruvalur. The percentage of success was the highest in municipal
areas 97.5 against 94.3 in local fund and 91.8 in Government (Agency) areas,
the lower percentage in these two areas being due partly to the fact that the
lymph deteriorates in transit and partly to delay in its use.
2
No. 1993-P.H., 28TH SEPTEMBER 1925
5. The causes that contributed to retard the progress of vaccination in the
past continued to operate in the year under review :—
(1) failure to introduce compulsion in many districts ;
(2) the reluctance of local bodies to enforce the provisions of law relating
to compulsion;
(3) the failure of local revenue officers to report promptly cases of outbreak
and to maintain correctly the registers of vital statistics ;
(4) failure to employ an adequate and duly qualified staff of vaccinators ;
(5) the absence, especially in municipalities, of adequate supervision over
the work of vaccinators ; and
(6) the activities, though limited at present, of the anti-vaccinationists.
6. Vaccination work has been the subject of a certain measure of public
criticism owing to the slack and indifferent work of the vaccinators. Local bodies
are requested to take immediate steps to rectify the defects pointed out above.
Collectors are also requested to impress again upon village headmen the neces-
sity for co-operating with the health staff in vaccination work in rural areas.
The Government have called for reports from the local bodies and the Collectors
concerned on the statements made by the Director of Public Health in paragraphs
9 (b), (d) and 11 of his report on the following points:—
(1) the failure of certain union boards and their presidents to carry out
the obligation vested in them by statute;
(2) the failure of the revenue authorities to report promptly outbreaks
of smallpox; and
(3) the indifference of the Nandyal Taluk Board in not employing the
necessary vaccination staff even though smallpox was prevalent within the Taluk
Board area.
7. The Government are glad to note that as many as 19,000 unprotected
children were detected in the Tanjore district by the district health staff mainly
during the hot weather when vaccination work was suspended. They, however,
observe with regret that some local bodies did not realize the importance of such
work and either granted leave to vaccinators during the off-season without
employing substitutes, or utilized their services for work unconnected with
vaccination.

The large increase in the number of Health Inspectors is due to the
re-organization of the Department effected in April 1923. The gradual increase in
the number of first-class vaccinators is a welcome improvement. In future, only
first and second-class vaccinators should be employed, and the probationary
group gradually abolished.

The success rates for primary vaccinations in 1925-26 are generally higher
than the corresponding figures for the previous two years. A general reduction
in the percentage of success for re-vaccinations has occurred, but too much
importance cannot be attached to this because of the varying degrees of immunity
met with in the individuals concerned.
Compared with the previous triennium, the results attained in the period
under review are very favourable. The following table gives comparative
figures :—

The higher rates during the present triennium are to be ascribed to the
adoption of glycerine lymph, and to increased supervision of the work of the
vaccinators.

17. The King Institute, Guindy, continued to supply all the vaccine lymph
required for the Presidency, and glycerine lymph only was used throughout the
triennium. The percentages of success for the different administrative areas of
the Presidency are given in the following table :—

has been reached, and it is unlikely that much further improvement in this
direction will be obtained.

N.B.—These figures do not include the recoveries made from vaccinators for wastage of lymph.
The comparatively large increase in the cost in municipalities during 1925-26
is due to the great decrease in the outturn of work. In the other cases the
differences are small and call for no special remarks.
In seven districts, the average cost of each successful vaccination was under
Rs. 0-5-0, the lowest being Rs. 0-4-1 in Salem; it ranged between Rs. 0-5-0
to Rs. 0-6-0 in ten districts, Rs. 0-6-0 to Rs. 0-7-0 in two districts, Rs. 0-7-0
to Rs. 0-8-0 in one district, Rs. 0-8-0 to Rs. 0-9-0 in four districts and was
Rs. 0-9-1 in Bellary. These variations arise owing to differences in pay of
Health Inspectors and vaccinators, partly to expenditure on travelling allowances
for transfers and partly to variations in the outturn of vaccinators.
As regards municipalities, the average cost varied from Rs. 0-2-8 in Calicut
to Rs. 1-11-10 in Tadpatri. The same two towns also returned minimum and
maximum figures in 1924-25. The rates for Tadpatri, and those other places
where the cost exceeds 12 annas per case, require careful investigation.
The Director, King Institute, reports that he issued lymph for 2,076,935
cases to District Boards and Municipalities, against 1,945,276 operations
performed in these areas. The difference of 131,659 represents a wastage of
about 6.3 per cent, which is slightly above the percentage allowed.
19. (1) Inspection of vaccinated cases by District Health Officers ranged
from 337 in Tanjore to 4,718 in Madura. Four District Health Officers inspected
less than 1,000 cases, seven less than 2,000 cases, seven less than 3,000 cases,
