Notes on Vaccination in the North-West Frontier
Province for the year 1924-25.
REVIEW BY THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER.
THE Chief Commissioner notes with great satisfaction
the very encouraging increase in the number of vaccinations
performed during the year, amounting to no less than 148,474
operations compared with 128,200 in 1923-24. It is true
that in 1923-24 the number was disappointingly low but
the figures for the year under review present a welcome
increase of no less than 4,319 on those for 1922-23 and are
the highest recorded for the past five years.
This is particularly praiseworthy owing to the fact that
the vaccination staff remained the same for the major portion
of the year. Towards the close of the year the District Board,
Peshawar, were able to re-appoint two of the vaccinators who
had been reduced in 1922-23, but even this left the staff
reduced by one vaccinator as compared with the personnel in
1922-23.
In view of the large increase in vaccination work the
increase of Rs. 1,162 in the total expenditure under this
head was to be expected, but the average cost of each
successful operation fell from two annas and nine pies to the
commendably low figure of two annas and six pies.
There was no epidemic of small-pox during the year
and the Province was practically free from this disease
except in the Peshawar District where 234 deaths occurred
out of a total of 309 for the whole Province.
The Chief Commissioner wishes to express his thanks to
Lieutenant-Colonel C. I. Brierley and to all Civil Surgeons
for the excellent results which have been achieved in this
important branch of medical administration.
M. E. RAE, MAJOR,
Secretary to the Chief Commissioner,
North- West Frontier Province.

NOTES
ON
VACCINATION
IN THE
NORTH-WEST FRONTIER PROVINCE DURING
THE YEAR 1924-25.
Administration.
1. The charge of the Vaccination
Department was held by me throughout
the year.
Statement No. I.—Estab-
lishment.
2. The vaccination staff remained the same as that of
last year, viz. 6 Superintendents and
34 vaccinators including 2 Sub-
Assistant Surgeons who worked in the
Nowshera and Peshawar Cantonments.
Statement No. I.—Total
Vaccinations performed.
3. The total number of primary vaccinations and
re-vaccinations done during the year
under report was 117,907 and 30,567
respectively against 108,837 and 19,363
in the preceding year, showing an increase of 9,070 in the
former and 11,204 in the latter. It is most satisfactory to
note that the increase has been effected in all the settled
districts of this Province except Mardan Sub-Division.
The small decrease in Mardan Sub-Division of 689 is
due to the fact that one vaccinator was transferred from
there to Peshawar. This transfer was made owing to the
reduction of the appointments of 3 vaccinators in Peshawar
on account of financial stringency. The consequence of this
had been a great falling off in the number of vaccinations
performed in this district. The District Board, Peshawar,
have, however, lately been able to re-appoint 2 vaccinators
with the result that vaccinations have now increased
considerably.
Average number vacci-
nated by each vaccinator.
4. The average number of operations performed by
each vaccinator in the Province was
4,229.88. This is a very satisfactory
improvement. Hazara District heads
( 2 )
the list with an average of 6,015.86. The Bannu District
shows the smallest amount of average work done by each
vaccinator, viz. 3,144.33 as compared with 3,113.33 in
the previous year.
Vaccinations according to
ages.
5. There were 111,830 successful primary vaccinations
performed, 70,703 of which were on
infants under one year and 34,160 on
children between one and six years of
age.
The successful vaccinations were at the rate of 41.07
per mille of the population.
Re-vaccinations.
6. 30,567 re-vaccinations were performed during the
year, compared with an average of
20,178 in the preceding quinquennium.
This is a very great and necessary improvement and it shows
that the population of this Province are learning the value of
re-vaccination in producing life-long immunity from
small-pox.
Appendix to Statement
No. I.—Vaccinations in
Political Agencies.
7 The total number of persons
vaccinated in Agencies was 16,937,
compared with 13,217 during the
previous year.
The special attention of all Civil Surgeons in the North-
West Frontier Province had been invited to the necessity of
greater attention and a more thorough supervision of
vaccination work and it is pleasing to see the good results
obtained.
Appendix to Statement
No. I.—Vaccinations in
Cantonments.
8. In the Cantonments of Peshawar and Nowshera
where the work is under the cantonment
authorities 3,002 vaccinations were
performed as compared with 2,927 in
the preceding year. In other cantonments for the non-
military Indian population vaccination is done by the district
vaccination staff. This year 598 persons were vaccinated,
viz. —8 in Abbottabad Cantonment, 433 in Mardan and 157
in Kohat Cantonment.
Statement No. II.—Cost
of the Department.
9. The total expenditure during the year was
Rs.
21,916-8-3,
compared
with
Rs. 20,754-3-10 in the previous year.
The expenditure incurred in the
purchase of lymph is Rs. 3,735.

10. The total number of successful vaccinations and
re-vaccinations amounted to Rs. 1,37,455.
The average cost of each successful case
was two annas and six pies.
Statement No. III.—
Dispensary vaccination.
11. As a rule Sub-Assistant Surgeons in charge of
dispensaries only do vaccination work
when for some special reason the
district vaccinators require assistance.
This year special instructions were issued to the Sub-
Assistant Surgeons to perform vaccination work in the
dispensaries: 4,036 persons were vaccinated by the
dispensary staffs during the year under report.
Statement No. V.—Ins-
pections made by officers of
the Department.
12. This statement shows the inspection work done by
Civil Surgeons and the vaccination
staff. Including settled districts and
Agencies the total number of persons
who underwent primary vaccinations was 117,907 and
re-vaccinations 30,567.
The percentage of successes recorded by Civil Surgeons
was 95.13 per primary and 93.00 for re-vaccinations.
Superintendents recorded a success of 96.42 for primary and
90.11 for re-vaccination. The Inspection work done by
Superintendents of Vaccination as compared with the
previous season is as follows :—
