1916.
Report on Vaccination in the North-West Frontier Province for the
year 1915-16.
REVIEW BY THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER.
LIEUTENANT-COLONEL T. W. IRVINE, I. M. S., Chief Medical Officer,
was in charge of the Vaccination Department throughout the year. The estab-
lishment working under him was the same as in previous years, viz. two Divi-
sional Inspectors, six Superintendents and thirty-eight vaccinators.
The attitude of the people towards vaccination has on the whole been,
favourable; but re-vaccination is considered unnecessary and troublesome
except under the pressure of small-pox in epidemic form. It is satisfactory,
therefore, to note that, though there has been a further decrease of 10,465 in the
total number of operations performed, the number of secondary operations has
increased by 5,894, and this although there has been no serious outbreak
of small-pox during the year. The decrease in the total number of vaccine
operations is to be attributed largely to local unrest and threatened troubles
on the frontier, particularly in the Peshawar District, and partly, in Hazara,
to the employment of the whole Vaccination staff on cholera duty for a period
of two months. In the Kurram, Tochi and Malakand Agencies, and in Sherani
country satisfactory progress has been made. The sympathetic support of the
Mehtar has been of great value in Chitral, and small-pox is now practically
unknown in his State.
The total expenditure of the Department was Rs. 15,352, or an increase
of Rs. 181 over the figures for the previous year. The greater part is met from
Municipal and Local Funds. The cost per successful case rose slightly in
consequence of fewer operations having been performed. It amounted to one
anna and ten pies.
