TRIENNIAL REPORT
ON
VACCINATION
BIHAR AND ORISSA
FOR, THE YEARS
1920-21, 1921-22 and 1922-23.
Staff.—In municipalities and in the district of Puri, vaccination was done
by paid vaccinators ; but otherwise the work throughout the Province was
carried out under the licensing system, except for the employment of paid
vaccinators by District Boards, and employed temporarily by Civil Surgeons
for short periods to deal with outbreaks of small-pox.
The total number of vaccinators, employed in the province during the last
three years is shown below :—

222
or an average of 1,083 licensed and 227 paid vaccinators were employed in
triennial period under review against 1,058 licensed and 210 paid of the previous
triennial period.
The inspecting staff consisted of 20 District Inspectors of Vaccination and
69 Sub-Inspectors of Vaccination (including three deputed for duty at the
vaccine Depôt) in addition to the Sub-Assistant Surgeon combining vacci-
nation inspection with other duties in Angul.
2. Operations performed.—The average number of operations performed
each year between 1920-21 and 1922-23 was 1,001,073 as compared with an
average of 1,041,667 of the previous triennium. Of these operations, 946,781
or 94.57 per cent. were primary and 54,291 or 5.42 re-vaccinations, as compared
with 967,840 or 92.91 per cent. and 73,827 or 7.08 per cent. respectively, the
average of the previous three years. The average number of operations
performed annually by each vaccinator was 764 against 821 of the previous
three years.
The total number of operations performed during the last three years has
been as follows :—

Of the total number of operations performed, the majority have been
primary as shown in the following statement:—

Re-vaccination.

75,147
22,848
22,935
The average number of primary and re-vaccinations of the triennial period
under review was 944,762 and 40,310 against 963,402 and 55,995 of the
previous three years. Thus there was a fall in the primary operations by
18,640 and in the re-vaccination by 15,685. The fall in the primary operations
was due to political unrest and active interference with the work of the staff.
Many reports were received both in writing and verbally of the increasing
difficulty in carrying on the work in face of opposition stirred up by agitators
and of the unwillingness of the people either to permit the operation on their
children or to pay for it. It appears, however, that the tide is on the turn
and that the difficulties experienced are gradually becoming fewer and less
serious. The decrease in the number of re-vaccinations performed is probably
due to the decrease in the prevalence of small-pox during the last two years.
The percentage of successful operations out of the total number performed
during the last three years has been as follows :—

Patna Division.
3. Vaccination in districts.—The average number of operations performed
in this division during the triennial period
has increased by 4,770 as compared with
the previous period. Shahabad District showed an increase of 18,264.
Tirhut Division.
In Tirhut division there was a fall of 18,260. The average number of
operations in each of the districts of this
division excepting the district of Dar-
bhanga was less than that of the previous three years. The most marked fall was
in the district of Saran (12,972).
Bhagalpur Division.
The average number of vaccination operations performed in Bhagalpur
Division during the triennial period under
review was 215,852 as compared with
229,124 of the previous three years. Thus there has been a marked fall of
13,272 in the number of operations performed. The largest fall was in the
district of Purnea (11,329) followed by Monghyr (4,171). There was an
increase in the districts of Bhagalpur and Santal Parganas.
Orissa Division.
Orissa returns show an increase of 6,331 operations. The increase was
shared by all the districts with the
exception of the District of Angul which
recorded a fall in the average number of operations by 2,690.
Chota Nagpur Division.
In the five districts of Chota Nagpur, there were decreases in the average
number of operations performed during
the triennial period under report,
amounting to 13,895 ; in Hazaribagh 6,010, Palamau 4,100 and Man-
bhum 2,821.
