ON THE
VACCINE OPERATIONS
IN THE
CENTRAL PROVINCES
FOR
THE YEAR 1885-86.
NAGPUR:
PRINTED AT THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE PRESS.
1886.
No. 4982A/ 324
FROM
F. C. ANDERSON, ESQ., C. S.,
OFFG. SECRETARY TO THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER,
Central Provinces.
To
THE DEPUTY SURGEON-GENERAL,
Central Provinces.
Dated Nagpur, the 2nd November 1886.
SIR,
I am directed to acknowledge your Report on Vaccination for the year
1885-86, which was received in print on the 22nd September last.
Results generally unsatis-
factory.
2. The results of the year, the Officiating Chief Commissioner regrets to
observe, are generally unsatisfactory.
The total number
of operations was less than it has been for several years
past, the cost of each successful case was higher than in
the preceding year, and there has been a falling off in the amount of inspection
work done.
Work of the Provincial
Vaccination staff.
3. The number of operations performed by the Provincial Vaccine Depart-
ment during the past four years is shown below :—

Total.

352,643
360,448
327,793
Compared with 1884-85, there has been a decrease in the year under report
of 32,655 operations, the number of vaccinators employed being the same in
both years.
The decrease in primary vaccinations occurred in 14 out of the 18 districts
and is most conspicuous in Raipur, Jubbulpore, Seoni and Mandla. The expla-
nations of the decrease given by the Civil Surgeons of these and other districts
cannot be regarded as satisfactory, and the Officiating Chief Commissioner sus-
pects that as, e.g., in Bhandara, so elsewhere, the falling off is largely due to the
vaccinators having failed to work as they should have done, and this failure
again is, in some cases, clearly due to a want of supervision on the part of the
Civil Surgeon. As regards Raipur, for instance, you report that your inspec-
tions led you to the conclusion that the vaccinators were badly supervised and
had been so for some years. This state of affairs, I am to observe, is discredit
2
able to the Civil Surgeon. Again, in Bhandara, although the present Civil Sur-
geon took charge of his duties early in January, he inspected the work of the
staff in 31 villages only. It is not, therefore, surprising to find it reported that
the decrease in this district was due to "want of energy on the part of the vaccina-
tors." It seems hardly necessary to point out that the staff cannot be expected
to be energetic, unless Civil Surgeons lead the way, and themselves take an in-
terest in the work and exercise a close supervision over their subordinates. The
Officiating Chief Commissioner trusts that Civil Surgeons will take note of these
remarks and endeavour to regain this season the ground lost during the past
year.
The percentage of success for the Province as returned by both Civil Sur-
geons and Native Superintendents is the same as in the previous year, viz. 92.
The Civil Surgeon, Chanda, found the ratio of success upwards of 5 per cent
higher than that claimed by the vaccinators, but no explanation of the matter
is given, and I am to say that when an officer reports so unusual a result
as this, the Officiating Chief Commissioner would have expected some sort of
explanation of how it was arrived at.
The cost of each successful case (by the Provincial staff) was 2 annas and
½ pie compared with 1 anna and 10¾ pies in the previous year.
Work of the Provincial
Dispensary staff.
4. There was a large decrease in the number of operations performed by
Hospital Assistants in charge of dispensaries, which is suf-
ficiently accounted for by the orders referred to in para-
graph 32 of the Report. The percentage of success, it is
observed, is lower than that of last year in both primary and re-vaccination
operations.
Vaccination in the Feuda-
tory States.
5. According to the table given in paragraph 24 of the Report, there was a
considerable increase in the number of operations in the
Feudatory States, but the increase is nominal, for the returns
of the year under report include the figures for the Kala-
handi and Patna States which did not find a place in last year's returns. In
reality there has been a falling off in the amount of work done, which is to be
regretted; and, in some States at all events, the work has been of poor quality,
for your inspections in Nandgaon, Khairagarh and Kawardha satisfied you that
it had undoubtedly not been satisfactory in those States.
Two native Superintendents were appointed during the year to supervise vacci-
nation in some of the Feudatory States and Zamindaris of the Chhattisgarh divi-
sion, but it was late in the season before they got to work, and the amount of in-
spection done by them was therefore comparatively small. Their appointment
will, it is hoped, lead to better results this year.
The Raja of Rehrakol is reported to be opposed to vaccination. The Raja
of Bamra, on the other hand, appears to take as much interest in this as in other
matters connected with the well-being of his State, and the Deputy Commis-
sioner will doubtless endeavour to induce the Raja of Rehrakol to follow his good
example. Mr. Fitzpatrick also observes that among the States in which work
3
has decreased there are two, viz., Sarangarh and Raigarh, which are under Go-
vernment management, and he takes this opportunity of drawing the attention
of the Deputy Commissioner of Sambalpur to the matter.
No vaccination work was done by the Hospital Assistants in charge of the
Dongargarh and Raj Nandgaon Feudatory Dispensaries, and the Officiating
Chief Commissioner would be glad to know whether, if they have been inten-
tionally relieved of this duty, proper arrangements have been made for carrying
on vaccination in these two places.
Small-pox.
6. The table in paragraph 40 of the Report is intended to give the order in
which each district stands in the matter of protection from
small-pox (when judged by the proportion of the population
believed to have been successfully vaccinated in the past five years), as compared
with the order of the district death rate from small-pox in 1885-86. But in the
heading of the second column of figures in the table the words " slightest" and
"severest" have evidently been transposed, No. 1 (Bhandara) representing the
severest (not the slightest), and No. 18 (Hoshangabad) representing the slightest
(not the severest) death rate from small-pox. It may be observed that the Civil
Surgeon of Hoshangabad is of opinion that many cases of small-pox are not report-
ed, and no positive conclusions can be drawn from statistics which are liable to
error; but the figures as grouped in sets of three below would seem to warrant us
in tracing a pretty distinct relation between the extent of protection believed to
have been afforded and the death rate from small-pox.

From the report of the present Civil Surgeon of Nimar it appears that, owing
to the continued efforts of the late Civil Surgeon, Dr. Cullen (now on leave), vacci-
nation has become so wide-spread and is so generally accepted by the people of
Nimar as a good thing, that " small-pox has ceased to be an important factor in
the mortality of the district". Reference is made in your Report (paragraph
57) to an apparently very useful system introduced by Dr. Cullen in Nimar of
making a vaccination census in each village. The Officiating Chief Commissioner
would be glad to have some further particulars regarding that system and to
know whether its working is confined to Nimar, &c.
Inspection.
7. The results are not satisfactory. Civil Surgeons inspected a smaller
number of villages and a smaller number of cases than in the
previous year ; Native Superintendents spent fewer days on
tour and inspected fewer cases and fewer villages. The Civil Surgeons of Chhind-
wara and Balaghat inspected the largest number of villages, while the Civil
Surgeons of Nimar, Mandla and Damoh saw the largest percentage of cases. You
were on tour in Chhindwara and Balaghat (among other districts) and report that
the work you saw was with few exceptions good, which is satisfactory. Good
work is pretty certain to be found where the Civil Surgeons have taken an active
part in supervising their subordinates.
In Sambalpur, where there was little or no inspection work done, grave irre-
gularities, which have been separately brought to the Chief Commissioner's notice,
were discovered. The Civil Surgeon was tied down to head-quarters for a portion
of the season by having medical charge of the Wing of the Regiment at Sambal-
pur ; the inconvenience thus caused has, as you are aware, been referred to in
recent correspondence with the Government of India.
The unequal amount of work done by the Native Superintendents in the
several districts is very striking, and the Officiating Chief Commissioner trusts
that efforts will be made to bring them all up to a higher level of general efficiency,
some standard of work being set, below which they must on no account be allowed
to fall.
Quality of work.
8. In paragraph 51 of the Report you notice that you saw enough on tour
to convince you that vaccinators are not sufficiently careful
in the selection of the lymph they use on the children they
vaccinate. The Officiating Chief Commissioner would be glad to have some
further explanation of your meaning.
Attitude of the people
towards vaccination.
9. The attitude of the people towards vaccination is chiefly one of indif-
ference, but it would seem that, as a rule, there is no great
difficulty in persuading them to let their children be vacci-
nated. There are, moreover, certain exclusive classes, who
do all they can to avoid having their children vaccinated, and with these classes
time and patience are necessary. Here and there persons are met who have
learned to appreciate the immunity from small-pox which is afforded by success-
ful vaccination, and who willingly assist the authorities. The Civil Surgeon of
Nimar names three malguzars who have rendered him such assistance, and the
5
Officiating Chief Commissioner desires that the Deputy Commissioner will
remember, when an opportunity presents itself, to thank them for their aid. He
would also be glad if Civil Surgeons would always bring such services to notice
in their annual reports, so that they may be publicly acknowledged.
Conclusion.
10. In thanking you, in conclusion, for your Report, I am again to express
the Officiating Chief Commissioner's regret that the results
of the year are so unfavourable.
In many cases the vac-
cinators are reported to have done bad work, and in some districts the work of
the Native Superintendents has been much below the mark. Results generally
have been unsatisfactory, and I am to say that it will require the closest super-
vision from Civil Surgeons and from yourself to recover the ground which has
been lost.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
F. C. ANDERSON,
Offg. Secretary.

Feudatory State Vaccine Department, and the greatest falling off took place
in the work by Dispensary Hospital Assistants, both Provincial and Feudatory
State.
