With the exception, however, of Ranchi, Hazáribágh, Noakhali, and Tippera,
he met of the other districts unvisited most of the Inspectors and several selected
vaccinators, so that only the above-noted four districts remained uninstructed.
The officers met and instructed were—
(1) The Superintendents of Vaccination, except Dacca and Ranchi.
(2) The Deputy Superintendents of Vaccination, except Ranchi.
(3) All the Inspectors, except a few who were sick.
(4) Departmental vaccinators located near Sadar stations.
(5) A few Civil Surgeons and Municipal Assistant Surgeons and the
Municipal vaccinator of nearly every municipality visited, although
this was beyond the letter of the order.
The plan followed was to collect on a fixed date, usually at the Sadar
station of the district, the Deputy Superintendent, all the District Inspectors,
and from 5 to 20 of the local vaccinators, a copy of the directions for using
the scarifier having been given to them previous to the demonstration. A
scarifier was also issued to each of the superior officers and to most of the
vaccinators. After an oral statement of the more important parts of the
procedure, a child was then slowly vaccinated by Dr. Waddell in one point by
the scarifier, all the different stages of the operation being fully explained
Then the Inspectors and vaccinators were each made to use the instrument for
the production of the remaining marks, and all their defects were pointed out
to the operating novices, as well as to the rest of the class. The vaccine paste
was then introduced. In this way at each demonstration an average of four
or five children were vaccinated by the assembled Inspectors and vaccinators.
The object of the deputation was thus achieved, and it now rests with Civil
Surgeons under the new scheme to complete the work begun by Dr. Waddell.
