RESOLUTION
ON THE
TRIENNIAL REPORT ON VACCINATION IN BURMA
FOR THE YEARS 1905-06—1907-08.
Extract from the Proceedings of the Government of Burma in the General Department, dated the 25th
July 1908.
READ—
The Triennial Report on Vaccination in Burma for the years 1905-06—1907-08.
RESOLUTION.—Although in certain respects the work of the Vaccination
Department in the last three years shows improvement many serious defects which
have been brought to notice in previous reports still persist. The total increase in the
number of operations performed in the Province outside Rangoon is only some
11,000 per annum and the number of persons successfully vaccinated each year is
still about 30 in each thousand of the population. The average number of opera-
tions 1,721 performed by each vaccinator was actually less than the average of
the last triennium. Geographical conditions and other circumstances that affect
the work of vaccinators vary so much in different districts that it is probably
impossible to lay down any hard and fast rule as to the number of operations that
a vaccinator can perform in a month, or even in a year. But the difference in the
results obtained in adjoining districts, where the conditions of work are similar, is
striking. Thus, if a vaccinator can perform 3,100 operations a year in the Sagaing
District it should be possible for vaccinators in Shwebo to perform more than
1,200. Similarly, when the average number of operations in Bassein and Myaung-
mya is 1,300 each the averages for Ma-ubin and Pyapôn, 550 and 390 respectively,
are clearly insufficient.
2. In some towns and villages it is said that the people are hostile to
vaccination, and the Sanitary Commissioner is inclined to attribute this attitude
to inefficiency and want of tact on the part of the vaccination staff. Inoculation is
still practised freely in rural areas and is reported to have caused outbreaks of
small-pox in the Upper and Lower Chindwin Districts, Yamèthin and Pakokku.
The Lieutenant-Governor is convinced that the people of this Province as a whole
have no strong objection to vaccination in itself. When they prefer inoculation it
is partly because inoculation is an established practice and vaccinators are not
always available, partly because vaccination has not always given good results.
A Bill will shortly be introduced into the Legislative Council for the purpose of
empowering the Local Government to prohibit inoculation in any rural area. It is
not intended to introduce this enactment into all parts of the Province at once,
for until the Vaccination Department is rendered thoroughly efficient it is not
reasonable to make inoculation a penal offence. At first therefore its operation
will be confined to the districts of Pegu and Hanthawaddy, where the vaccination
staff is being reorganized. By degrees, as full facilities for vaccination are
RESOLUTION ON THE TRIENNIAL REPORT ON VACCINATION IN BURMA FOR THE YEARS 1905-06—1907-08. 3
Bill, if it becomes law, and the improved facilities which the Municipal Committee
are now providing, it should be possible to prevent the occurence in future of such
a serious epidemic as occurred two years ago.
7. The suggestion referred to in paragraph 6 of the Resolution on the last
triennial Report that the performance of vaccination should be limited to certain
seasons of the year has been further considered. Owing to the marked differences
in climatic conditions in different parts of the Province, no general orders have been
passed for the cessation of work in any specified part of the year. But it has
been arranged that the grant of privilege leave to Vaccinators and Native Superin-
tendents of Vaccination should, as far as possible, be restricted to the season of
the year that is least suitable for vaccination in each district.
8. Apart from special measures to be undertaken under the new enactments
referred to above, it will be necessary throughout the next three years to insist on
stricter supervision by Civil Surgeons over the work of vaccinators, and both Civil
and Medical Officers should endeavour to remove the prejudice that exists in some
places against the Vaccination Department and to promote the popularity of
vaccination as compared with inoculation. In these efforts Medical Officers will
have the advantage of a staff of well-trained Native Superintendents for the
supervision of vaccinators and will no longer have to contend with the difficulties
that arise from an inferior supply of lymph. The Sanitary Commissioner being
now a whole-time officer will be able to devote more time than hitherto to the
general supervision of vaccination work. Civil Officers have good opportunities for
removing any prejudice that may exist against vaccination as well as for discour-
aging the dangerous practice of inoculation, and the Lieutenant-Governor desires
once more to impress on them the necessity for their co-operation. It is clear
that vaccination is disliked in certain places in the Pegu and Irrawaddy Divisions
and probably elsewhere. In order to remove this feeling it is necessary not only
that the work of vaccination should be better and the supervision of Civil
Surgeons closer, but also that Deputy Commissioners and Subdivisional and
Township Officers should take advantage of their influence and authority to bring
home to the people the danger of inoculation and the advantages of vaccination.
By order of the Lieutenant-Governor of Burma,
D. SHEARME,
Secretary to the Government of Burma.

the submission of accurate statistics regarding towns in which the Vaccination
Act is in force. The mistakes, however, at present made in its compilation, inter-
fere considerably with its usefulness.
18. Vaccination equipment.—The proposed portable haversack for vaccina-
tors, alluded to in last year's vaccination note, has been finally elaborated. The
haversack and its contents are the joint result of the labours of the Deputy Sanitary
Commissioner and of Captain Saigol, I.M.S., the best features of whose separate
designs this equipment combines. Quotations for the manufacture of fifty of these
haversacks have recently been asked for. Its issue will at first be restricted, in
order to see in practical use, whether alteration or addition may not prove necessary
before the haversack is issued to all district vaccinators in the province.
Proposals for a general reorganization of the Vaccination Department are at
present under consideration, and will be submitted to Government during the
course of the ensuing year.
