RESOLUTION
ON THE
REPORT ON VACCINATION IN BURMA
For the year 1893-94.
Extract from the Proceedings of the Chief Commissioner, Burma, in the General Department,—No. 1Z.-19,
dated the 11th July 1894.
READ—
Statistics of vaccination for the year 1893-94, with notes by the Superintendent of Vaccination.
Lower Burma.
RESOLUTION.—The report was received in the Secretariat on the 23rd June,
nearly two months after it was due. The number of
persons vaccinated in Lower Burma during 1893-94
was 175,808 as compared with 156,116 in the previous year. The increase of
19,692 was shared equally by all the divisions with the exception of Arakan, where
the aggregate number of vaccinations was kept down by the serious decline of over
16,000 in the Akyab district. In that district the number of vaccinations fell from
18,761 in the previous year to 2,290. The explanation given by the Superinten-
dent of Vaccination for this remarkable diminution discloses an unsatisfactory state
of affairs. The Civil Surgeon and the Deputy Commissioner were unequal to the
occasion of the small-pox epidemic, and an occurrence which should have extend-
ed vaccination caused a revival of inoculation. The Superintendent should explain
more in detail why the lymph-supply at Akyab so deteriorated that the percentage
of success in primary operations for the year was only 76.80, why it failed
altogether in July, and why work by private vaccinators was prohibited. The
continued improvement in the percentage of success in primary operations is a
gratifying feature of the report. It was 90.27 against 86.65 in the previous
year and 85.21 in 1891-92. There were 1,642 more cases of secondary vac-
cination than in 1892-93, but the percentage of success remained almost
stationary. In spite of the extra expenditure incurred by the entertainment of
two additional local superintendents and 13 vaccinators, the average cost of each
successful vaccination was reduced from 4 annas 2 pies in the previous year to
3 annas 9 pies in the year under review. In March 1893 the Vaccination Act was
extended to Pegu, but popular opposition to vaccination remained unabated as is
shown by the small proportion of children protected to children born. Though
active measures should not be neglected, the conversion of opinion should be
steadily kept in view, and with this object particular care should be exercised in
respect of the lymph used. The total cost of the Vaccination Department in
Lower Burma for 1893-94 was Rs. 33,390, out of which provincial funds con-
tributed Rs. 1,805 and the balance was borne by local and municipal funds.
On the whole, as Statement IV shows, the year was one of progress in towns but
of retrogression in the villages. The retrogression is no doubt mainly due to the
Akyab district, but the unprogressive localities cannot be determined with certainty
for want of a table for the preceding year corresponding with that printed in
RESOLUTION ON THE REPORT ON VACCINATION IN BURMA FOR THE YEAR 1893-94.

Rs. 8,610 and municipal funds Rs. 6,602. The cost of vaccination in rural
areas was transferred from District Funds to the Imperial budget, as the whole
resources of the former were required for public works and other special objects
for which they were created. The Vaccination Act was extended in the course
of the year under report to the municipalities at Mônywa and Ye-u and has since
been extended to others. The question of extending the Act to the cantonments
of Bhamo, Myingyan, Shwebo and Meiktila is under consideration. The verifi-
cation of vaccinations by Civil Surgeons was better done than in Lower Burma,
but in Lower and Upper Chindwin, Myitkyina, Pakôkku, Magwe, Myingyan,
Yamèthin and Meiktila it was insufficient. The result at Kyauksè is surprising.
The number of persons vaccinated was 3,019; the vaccinator declared 2,869 cases
to be successful ; the Civil Surgeon inspected 2,040 cases and declared only 141
to be successful. Sir Alexander Mackenzie presumes that in this and in the
similar cases in the Pegu, Tharrawaddy and Mandalay districts, the vaccinators
concerned have been suitably dealt with. A report on the subject is desired.
By order of the Chief Commissioner,
F. C. GATES,
Secretary.
REPORT
ON
VACCINATION IN BURMA
For the year 1893-94.
LOWER BURMA.
1. A detailed report on vaccination having been submitted last year, the
following brief note is intended to explain, where necessary, the figures in the pre-
scribed forms.
Cantonment vaccination establishments having been handed over to the
control of the Civil Department, their work is included in the annual statements.
The population dealt with is that determined by the census of 1891.
2. Statement I. —The total number of vaccine operations performed in
1893-94 (175,808), is 19,692 in excess of the number of the previous year. All
divisions, with the exception of Arakan, share nearly equally in this increase. In
the latter, owing to a serious decline of over 16,000 in the Akyab district, a con-
siderable reduction has taken place.
3. Re-vaccinations, which are chiefly confined to convicts, and the vaccina-
tion of coolies in Rangoon town mainly account for the difference between the
number of male and female operations.
4. There is an increase in the number of operations in every district, except
Akyab, as above noted. Sandoway, with an increase of 6,303, heads the list,
being closely followed by Henzada (5,762) and Amherst (5,385). The increases
at Prome (2,784) and Tavoy (2,516) come next in order.
5. The greatest number of operations was performed in Hanthawaddy in-
cluding Rangoon town (49,146), Amherst (18,732), and Henzada (14,517).
6. In Akyab the number of vaccinations fell from 18,761 in the pre-
vious year to 2,290. To account for this great decrease the following causes are
ascribed:—
(a) The prevalence of a severe epidemic of small-pox during the first
five months of the official year.
(b) Greater faith by the people in inoculation.
(c) Work by private vaccinators, which accounted for 9,052 of the pre-
vious year's operations, was prohibited.
(d) Failure of the lymph supply in July.
(e) Prevalence of fever amongst children in December.
Under ordinary circumstances, however, as in the case of Sandoway in the
year under review, the prevalence of small-pox tends to greatly increase the
number of operations by frightening the people out of their natural apathy, and,
seeing that a calf depôt for the cultivation of lymph is in existence in Akyab,
failure of lymph supply should never take place.
Every effort is now being made to prevent a recurrence of this most unsatis-
factory state of affairs and improvement in the returns of 1894-95 is expected.
7. Owing to the increase in the staff and the poor work done in Akyab the
average number of operations performed by each vaccinator has fallen from 2,402
to 2,254. The best work recorded is that of the Sandoway district, where
the vaccinator, helped for six months by an additional man, performed 10,032
operations.

Henzada, Moulmein, and eight others show successful vaccinations in excess
of births, while Pegu, Akyab, and eight others are under-protected, the first two
markedly so; the remainder are fairly protected and show vaccination in excess of
survivals. At Pegu the hostility of Burmans to vaccination and the wide preva-
lence of inoculation are the causes assigned for the bad work done there. As
the Act was introduced into the town in March 1893 these reasons are not
considered satisfactory, and the Civil Surgeon has been requested to take greater
interest in vaccination.
16. In accordance with the wishes of the Government of India, contained
in Home Department letter No. 191, dated the 26th August 1892, a table is given
below, which shows the work done, the average cost of each successful vacci-
nation, and the average number of operations performed by each vaccinator in
Municipal towns during the year under review:—

REPORT ON VACCINATION IN BURMA FOR THE YEAR 1893-94.
The percentage of successful primary cases is greatest at Moulmein (99.97)
and Toungoo (99.50) and least at Akyab (76.18) and Gyobingauk (78.30). The
cost of each successful case is least at Henzada and Kyaukpyu (Rs. 0-1 -8 and
Rs. 0-1-10 respectively) and greatest at Akyab and Pegu (Rs. 0-12-9 and
Rs. 0-9-7).
Rangoon returns the largest (7,013) and Pegu the smallest (559) average
number of operations performed by each vaccinator.

35. The Vaccination Act was extended to the Municipality at Mônywa in
March 1893 and to that at Ye-u in August 1893.
36. The question of extending the Act to the Cantonments of. Bhamo,
Myingyan, Shwebo, and Meiktila, having been favourably reported on by the
authorities concerned, the adoption of the scheme has been recommended to the
Government of India.
37. The extension of the Vaccination Act to rural tracts and towns (other
than Municipalties) in Lower Burma is under consideration.
38. My thank's are due to Dr. Sutherland, Health Officer, Rangoon, for
the willing help rendered in cultivating and distributing bovine lymph and
paste.
