PESHAWAR :
GOVERNMENT PRESS, NORTH- WEST FRONTIER PROVINCE.
1919.
Report on Vaccination in the North-West Frontier Province
for the year 1918-19.
REVIEW BY THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER.
THE report under review can hardly be considered a satisfactory one
in view of the fact that there has been a decline of 13,381 in the total number
of persous vaccinated, a rise in the ratio of deaths per thousand from small-pox
from 0.03 in 1917 to 0.08, and an increase in the cost per successful case of
vaccination. This retrogression is attributed to the influenza outbreak at the
end of 1918, which hindered the operations of the vaccinators and caused a
considerable waste of lymph opened for use, but only partly used owing to lack
of patients. The decrease in vaccinations was entirely among primary opera-
tions, secondary ones showing an increase of 2,579.
A satisfactory feature of the report is the substantial increase in the
number of persons vaccinated in the Agencies and the Sherani country, but
the tribesmen are still sceptical of the value of re-vaccination.
The Chief Commissioner thinks that a little more care might be taken
over the printing of the diagram showing death rates, etc., the coloured columns
being so badly done as to convey no clear idea of the facts they purport to
represent. There is in the report also no statement of the actual number of
deaths from small-pox during the year.
The Chief Commissioner is pleased to observe the marked increase in
vaccination work in all the cantonments in the Province.
The establishment employed during the year 1918-19 was the same in
number as in the preceding year.
The late Lieutenant-Colonel T. W. Irvine held charge of the Vaccination
Department until his death on January 26th, 1919, when Major H. Crossle took
charge.
