Letter from the Administrative Medical Officer, No. 1955-V, dated the 4th July 1893,

RESOLUTION.
There was very little change in the strength of the Vaccination staff
during the year. An extra vaccinator was employed in British districts, while
the number of vaccinators working in Feudatory States was reduced by two.
2. The total number of operations performed in 1892-93 is compared
below with the preceding year's total:—

ment (Provincial
and Feudatory) ...

lishment (Provin-
cial and Feudatory)

435,410
18,436
453,846
There was thus a decrease of 9,400 in the number of operations. The
decrease occurred partly in primary operations and partly in re-vaccinations,
but was greater in the latter.
An examination of the statistics for three years given in Table I of the
Report shows that, while the work done in Feudatory States during the year
under review was more than in 1890-91, the number of operations performed by
the Provincial Vaccine Department has been steadily declining :—
1890-91 ...
1891-92 ...
1892-93 ...
384,944
381,069
375,639
It is true that primary operations performed by the Provincial staff were
more numerous in the year under review than in the preceding year by 1,536;
but their total (340,160) is below the total for 1890-91 (341,424) by a nearly
corresponding measure. Moreover the increase in primary operations occurred
only in 8 districts out of the 18, and is chiefly due to the additional work
done in the three districts of Jubbulpore, Saugor and Nagpur (vide paragraph 13
of the Report).
3. If the figures given in Statement I are examined, it will be found that
the particulars of successful primary operations performed by Khalsa vaccina-
tors are as follows:—

7. The total cost of the Vaccine establishment in the Khalsa during
1892-93 was Rs. 47,919, or Rs. 1,039 more than in the previous year. In
1890-91 the cost was Rs. 45,747. The expenditure has thus gone on increasing,
while the number of persons vaccinated has declined. A portion of the increase
in cost is due to expenses connected with the cultivation of animal lymph at
Pachmarhi. The experience gained in the use of this lymph seems to show that,
while very effective when fresh, it rapidly deteriorates; and it would be neces-
sary to incur a further outlay in the purchase of glass tubes for the carriage
and preservation of the lymph, if the system were to be maintained. On the
other hand, the plan of taking lymph from buffalo calves obtained locally and
vaccinated for the purpose is being gradually introduced into all districts ; and
it will probably be possible in the cold season of 1894 to dispense with lanoline
lymph and depend wholly on the supplies obtained from calves. Dr. Center,
the late Officiating Sanitary Commissioner, has recorded an interesting Note on
the subject of Animal Vaccination, which is printed as an Appendix to the
Report.
8. The Vaccination Act was extended during the year to the Municipali-
ties of Nagpur, Narsinghpur, Harda, Sambalpur, Damoh and Hatta; and other
towns are following the example set by these.
ORDER.—Ordered, that a copy of this Resolution (with the usual number
of spare copies) be submitted to the Government of India in the Home Depart-
ment, and that a copy be forwarded to the Administrative Medical Officer, for
information and guidance; also, that it be published in the Supplement to the
Central Provinces Gazette, and that copies, bound with the Report, be distri-
buted as usual.

REPORT
ON
VACCINATION
IN THE
CENTRAL PROVINCES,
FOR THE YEAR 1892-93.
1. The area in which vaccine operations were carried on in the past season
was about the same as in the previous year.
2. The following Statement compares the establishment employed during
the years 1890-91, 1891-92 and 1892-93:—

The average strength of the Khalsa Vaccination establishment has been
increased by one, thus—
One additional vaccinator has been employed in each of the districts of
Saugor, Jubbulpore and Mandla ... ... ...
At Hoshangabad and Chanda the strength was decreased by one in

There is a decrease of two on the average strength employed in the Feu-
datory States. One extra vaccinator was employed in Kalahandi, and on the
other hand there is a decrease of three in the Sonepur State.
3. Most of the Civil Surgeons complain that the number of vaccinators
sanctioned for their districts is inadequate, owing to the physical difficulties of
the country. Measures are being taken to put this right.
2
Sources of Lymph.
4. Experimental cultivation was again carried on at Pachmarhi with
the view to supply a sufficient quantity of animal lymph with which to begin
the operations of the working season. A brief account of these experiments is
appended to this report.
In many districts buffalo calves were vaccinated, and the lymph obtained
from them was used by the vaccinators of the districts.
As in former years arm-to-arm vaccination was also maintained in most
of the districts.
5. The following table shows the total number of vaccine operations in
the Province for the past three years, performed by vaccinators and Civil Hos-
pital Assistants both in the Khalsa and in the Feudatory States:—

From the above table it will be seen that there has been a decrease of 9,400
in the total number of operations performed in 1892-93 compared with 1891-92.
6. No work is said to have been done by the Hospital Assistants attached
to State Dispensaries at Rajnandgaon, Khuji and Sonepur in 1892-93. At
Rajnandgaon no children were vaccinated by the Hospital Assistant, as the
vaccination staff of the State performed vaccinations in the town. Khuji Dis-
pensary has been closed; and the Hospital Assistant attached to Sonepur, being
ill, was unable to perform vaccine operations. But on the other hand vaccina-
tion work was carried on this season by the Hospital Assistants attached to
Dhondi Lohara, Khairagarh and Rampur, while no operations were done at these
dispensaries in 1891-92.
For proper comparison, taking the operations performed in 1891-92 and
1892-93, excluding respectively the work done at the above dispensaries, the
actual decrease amounts to 9,639.
STATEMENT I.
Operations by Vaccinators in the Khalsa and Feudatory States.
7. The total number of vaccine operations performed by vaccinators
during the year 1892-93, both in Khalsa and Feudatory States, was 435,410
compared with 445,720 in the previous year, or 10,310 less than that of
1891-92, thus—

—4,760
—5,550

8. The percentage of successful primary operations was 96.68, or 0. 28
greater when compared with the success of 1891-92; and that of successful
re-vaccinations 84.27, against 79.57 in the previous year. This high ratio of
success in re-vaccination leads one to doubt its correctness in the case of primary
operations.
It will be seen from the figures given below that during the past six years
the highest ratio of success in re-vaccinations performed by the Khalsa vaccin-
ators is claimed for the year under report:—
1887-88 ...

9. The total number of vaccine operations performed by Khalsa vaccina-
tors in the year under review was less by 5,430 than the number shown in the
previous year, and the decrease was mainly in re-vaccinations, which is not
unsatisfactory, for there was an increase in primary operations amounting to
1,536.
Of the successful primary operations there was an increase of 1,810 com-
pared with 1891-92.
