REPORT ON VACCINATION IN BURMA FOR THE YEAR 1893-94.
The average in Hanthawaddy (6,143) comes next, but is below that of the
previous year: this falling off is attributed to the deterioration of lymph in
November and again in February and March.
8. The percentage of success in primary operations is 90.27 against 86.65
in the previous year and 85.21 in 1891-92.
The degree of success ranged from 96.70 in Amherst, 96.40 in Prome, and
94.51 in Henzada to 81.59 in Mergui, 80.37 in Kyaukpyu, and 76.80 in Akyab.
The falling off is attributed at Kyaukpyu to inexperience in the use of
lanoline paste, and at Akyab to deterioration of the lymph supply previous to its
failure in July.
9. There were 1,642 more cases of secondary vaccination than in 1892-93,
but the percentage of success remained almost the same (47.57 against 47.79).
10. Statement II.—The establishment was increased in strength by two
Superintendents and 13 vaccinators, and in consequence the total cost is Rs.
2,137 in excess of that of 1892-93.
11. The average cost of each successful case was Rs. 0-3-9 as against Rs.
0-4-2 in the previous year. A decrease in cost has taken place in all divisions
save Arakan, where, for reasons already given, an increase from Rs. 0-2-6 to
Rs. 0-4-0 has resulted.
12. In Statement III particulars of dispensary vaccination are shown.
The total number vaccinated is over 700 in excess of that of the previous year.
13. Statement IV is a comparative statement showing the work done by
Government, Municipal, Local Fund, and Army vaccination establishments.
14. Statement V shows the number of cases of vaccination verified by
Inspecting Officers.
15. The following table compares the number of successful operations per-
formed in Municipal towns on children under one year of age, with the number
of births and survivals of the same during the year:—
