ON THE
REPORT ON VACCINATION IN BURMA

Statistics of vaccination for the year 1891-92 with notes by the Superintendent of Vaccination.
Lower Burma.
RESOLUTION.—The number of persons vaccinated in Lower Burma during
1891-92 was 129,509, being less by 10,812 than in
the previous year. The most notable decreases were
in the districts of Prome, Thôngwa, Henzada, Thayetmyo, and Toungoo. In
Prome town the inhabitants are reported to have been converted from their
attitude of opposition, and the decrease in the district total of vaccination
is attributed to the absence of smallpox. In Thôngwa a vaccinator was lazy,
in Thayetmyo there was scarcity, and in Henzada and Toungoo districts the
decrease is unexplained. The Officiating Chief Commissioner cannot regard
either these returns or the explanations with any satisfaction. In the Henzada
district the number of operations has fallen in two years from 10,134 to 5,180
and in the Toungoo district from 8,905 to 3,069. The Sanitary Commissioner
and the local Superintendents should be able to assign some reason for these
very large diminutions, and the Officiating Chief Commissioner requests that the
matter (to which the Sanitary Commissioner's attention was directed in August
last) may not be overlooked next year. In the Tharrawaddy district two addi-
tional vaccinators were appointed, and the number of operations increased from
5,381 to 6,552 ; in the Amherst district, including Moulmein town, there was an
increase of 2,476 vaccinations. The percentages of success in primary cases did
not in most districts materially differ from those of the previous year, but in Pegu
the average fell from 90 to 86, and in Salween it rose from 48 to 65. For the whole
of Lower Burma it was worse by .17 than in the previous year, and the im-
provement which last year the Chief Commissioner had hoped for is still to seek.
The total number of vaccinators was increased by one, and the expenditure on
establishment rose from Rs. 25,565 to Rs. 25,905. The total cost of the special
vaccination staff was Rs. 32,663, and the average cost of each successful case was
Rs. 0-5-3 against Rs. 0-4-9 in the previous year. The general rate per case is,
as was remarked last year, abnormally high. The Vaccination Act was ap-
plied during the year to Thayetmyo cantonment and to the Municipalities of
Yandoon, Thatôn, and Mergui. Rules were made under the Act for the Muni-
cipalities of Ngathainggyaung-Daunggyi, Myanaung, Mergui, Thatôn, and
Ma-ubin, and for the cantonment of Thayetmyo. The Act is now in force in
all Lower Burma Municipalities but seven, of which Pegu is the most consider-
able, and in all Lower Burma cantonments but one.

RESOLUTION ON THE REPORT ON VACCINATION IN BURMA FOR THE YEAR 1891-92.
Upper Burma.
2. The number of vaccinations in Upper Burma was 57,985 against
37,956. There were four additional vaccinators en-
tertained, but the average outturn of each vac-
cinator's work rose from 1,356 to 1,812 operations. In Mandalay district there
was a large increase of 10,722 owing mainly to the extension of the Act to
Mandalay Municipality and Cantonment. In the Upper Chindwin there was a
great and unexplained decrease, and from other districts, including Katha,
Lower Chindwin, and Pyinmana, reports of opposition to vaccination were re-
ceived. The assistance which can be rendered by the District Officer and his
assistants in removing such opposition is illustrated by the case of Ye-u, where
the number of vaccinations increased from 1,289 to 4,244, and Mr. Fryer ex-
pects that Deputy Commissioners, Subdivisional Officers, and Township Officers
will take every convenient opportunity of combating the unreasonable preju-
dices which retard the spread of vaccination. The Officiating Chief Com-
missioner is glad to observe that in Bhamo and Minbu the percentage of suc-
cessful cases has risen; but in Magwe, though there is some improvement, the
percentage of success is still the lowest in Upper Burma. In quantity and
quality of work considered together the vaccinators at Myingyan come first
and the vaccinator at Mogaung last. The cost of each successful case fell from
Rs. 0-4-2 to Rs. 0-3-2. The total expenditure was Rs. 9,712. During the
year the Act was applied to the Municipalities of Mandalay, Myingyan, Pagan,
Salin, Pyinmana, and Yamèthin, and the Cantonment of Mandalay. Rules
under the Act were made for the Municipalities of Mandalay,. Salin, and Pyin-
mana.
General.
3. The Civil Surgeons verified more cases than in the preceding year,
and the Civil Surgeon of Mandalay, whose 919 veri-
fications were accidentally omitted by the Sanitary
Commissioner from the previous year's report, found time to verify over 3,000
cases in 1891-92. The high percentage of successful secondary vaccinations in
1890-91 attracted the notice of the Government of India, which was inclined to
doubt the correctness of the returns. In the year of report the percentage fell in
Lower Burma from 61 to 57 and rose in Upper Burma from 69 to 71. The
Sanitary Commissioner has not offered any explanation of these figures.
A full report on vaccination is not due till next year, and the Officiating
Chief Commissioner considers that the notes of the Sanitary Commissioner are
too ample and yet not sufficiently enlightening. In great part they consist of
mere statements of fact extracted from the returns and of tables which repro-
duce figures found elsewhere. These might have been omitted with advantage ;
the bulk of the report might have been reduced by half at least, and part of the
space thus gained might have been devoted to explaining marked differences
between the returns of the year of report and those of the preceding year.
By order of the Chief Commissioner,
D. H. R. TWOMEY,
Officiating Junior Secretary.
