Dispensary vaccination.
(Statement III.)
12. The number of vaccinations performed by medical subordinates at
dispensaries in 1913-14 was 629 (375 primary and
254 revaccination) as compared with 933 in 1912-13
and 384 in 1911-12, the average for the three years being 649 against 432 for the
preceding triennium. The number of vaccinations performed at dispensaries is
small and is largely due to the establishment in the larger towns of vaccination
stations and to the fact that in urban and rural areas the vaccinators make house
to house visitations.
Vaccination in municipalities.
13. Owing to the conversion of Nanpara municipality into a notified area
on 1st April 1913, the number of municipalities in
these provinces was reduced from 87 to 86 and that
of notified areas increased from 45 to 46. For the purposes of comparison the
statistics of Nanpara for the preceding two years have therefore been excluded
from those for the municipal areas and included in those for the notified areas.
The total number of (a) persons vaccinated in the municipalities of these
provinces in 1913-14 was 123,391, (b) vaccinations performed 125,881, of which
2,490 were secondary vaccinations, (c) successful primary operations 101,016, (d)
successful revaccinations 8,132, (e) persons successfully vaccinated per mille of
population 37.01, against (a) 122,218, (b) 124,343, of which 2,125 were secondary
vaccinations, (c) 101,116, (d) 6,867 and (e) 36.62 respectively in 1912-13 and (a)
115,281, (b) 117,397, of which 2,116 were secondary vaccinations, (c) 97,845, (d)
7,142 and (e) 35.61 respectively in 1911-12.
There was thus an increase in the municipal vaccination work in 1913-14
compared with the preceding two years under all heads except successful primary
operations, which compared with 1912-13 show a very slight decrease of 100
cases. In the list of municipalities showing the best protection, Jaunpur stands
first with 84.91 against 80.87 in 1912-13 and 73.96 in 1911-12. Lakhimpur
(Kheri) comes next with 67.45, 53.80 and 40.85. Then in order come Kalpi
(Jalaun) with 64.44, 70.97 and 62.45, Unao with 64.10, 52.50 and 48.01, Naini
Tal with 63.41, 51.05 and 52.79 and Mau (Jhansi) with 61.73, 66.68 and 94.92
respectively. Of the municipalties showing the least protection the most
conspicuous are Rae Bareli with 14.95 in 1913-14, 35.26 in 1912-13 and 40.91
in 1911-12, Farrukhabad-Fatehgarh with 1920, 23.00 and 22.43, Nawabganj
(Bara Banki) with 19.39, 16.85 and 10.26, Brindaban (Muttra) with 21.58,
20.44 and 30.25 and Roorkee with 25.20, 23.75 and 23.54 respectively.
All the above municipalties except Kalpi, Mau, Rae Bareli and Farrukhabad-
Fatehgarh show an improvement over the preceding year.
In Kalpi and Mau the decrease is attributed to the exodus of people to other
districts owing to the impending famine. In Rae Bareli and Farrukhabad-
Fatehgarh it was due to slackness on the part of vaccinators.
The number of successful vaccinations performed on children under one
year of age in the municipalties of these provinces in 1913-14 was 82,275, vide
Appendix B, against 82,789 in 1912-13 and 80,205 in 1911-12.
Vaccination in cantonments.
14. During the year under report 12,841 persons were vaccinated and
13,102 vaccinations performed in cantonments, the
difference of 261 representing secondary operations
against 13,172, 13,313 and 141 respectively in 1912-13 and 10,360, 10,524 and
164 in 1911-12. The numbers of persons successfully vaccinated per 1,000 of
population during the three years were 53.87, 52.28 and 47.52 respectively.
Vaccination in notified areas.
15. The total number of persons vaccinated in these areas in 1913-14 was
15,284 as against 14,599 in 1912-13 and 13,341 in
1911-12. The total number of vaccinations was
15,677 as compared with 14,908 in the previous year and 13,508 in 1911-12
Secondary vaccinations rose from 167 in 1911-12 to 309 in 1912-13 and to 393 in
1913-14. Successful primary vaccinations were 13,409 against 12,714 in 1912-13
and 11,825 in 1911-12. There were 787 successful revaccinations in 1911-12 821
in 1912-13 and 719 last year. Successful vaccinations per mille of population rose
from 37.93 in 1911-12 to 40.70 in 1912-13 and to 42.49 in 1913-14.
Amongst the best protected notified areas, Mainpuri Civil Station stands
first with 243.49 persons successfully vaccinated per 1,000 of population followed
by Shahganj (Jaunpur) with 153.06, Deoria (Gorakhpur) with 87.45
Badshahpur (Jaunpur) with 80.48, Sheopur (Benares) with 79.82 and Gaura
Barhaj (Gorakhpur) with 77.84. Chunar Settlement (Mirzapur) heads the
