5. Vaccinations performed by the special staff. State-
ment I.—The vaccination staff performed 582,264 operations,
of which 499,661 were primary and 82,603 were revaccinations.
A comparison with the previous year shows that the vaccinators
performed 26,323 more operations and the increase was con-
tributed by all the districts except Nagpur, Damoh, Seoni,
Yeotmal and Akola. In Nagpur district the decrease is attri-
buted to the prevalence of plague in Nagpur City and Kamptee
Cantonment; in Damoh to the prevalence of plague also. In
Seoni the number of primary vaccinations shows a decrease,
while revaccinations shows an increase. In Yeotmal the de-
crease was due partly to shortage of one vaccinator and partly
to the slackness of some vaccinators. The Civil Surgeon,
Yeotmal, reports that the staff of vaccinators has been increased
by two men since the 1st April 1927, and it is hoped there
will be an appreciable improvement in vaccination work next
year. In Akola district the decrease in revaccinations is
stated to be due to the slackness of the villagers who have not
produced their children for revaccinations.
In Jubbulpore district there was a considerable increase in
revaccinations as compared with the previous year, and this
was due to the large number of revaccinations (3,017) per-
formed in the Cantonment of Jubbulpore, especially among
the sepoys, and also to 1,723 revaccinations having been per-
formed in the Jubbulpore Municipality
6. Although the work shows an improvement, there are
large numbers of children remaining unvaccinated in several
districts, and the Civil Surgeons will, it is hoped, take measures
to wipe off this balance of unvaccinated children. From the
returns submitted to this office it seems that many vaccinators
did not perform even the minimum number of operations
prescribed (2,000). As remarked in the previous year's re-
ports, every effort should be made to arrive at the standard
prescribed, and it is hoped the Civil Surgeons and' District
Councils will pay attention to this matter.
7. Dispensary vaccination and vaccination by other agencies.
Statement III.—During the year 1926-27 the Medical Officer in
charge of the Jail Hospital at Nagpur performed 448 vacci-
nations, the Medical Subordinate in charge Cantonment Hos-
pital, Pachmarhi, 788 and at the Raipur Jail 491. The railway
staff in Nagpur, Chanda, Saugor and Raipur performed 724
vaccinations, the mining agencies, Chhindwara, 1,713, and the
Tea District Labour Association Depôt, Raipur, 4,262.
8. The Local Government has sanctioned my proposal
for the vaccination of school children by the Medical Officers
3
doing periodical inspection of schools and the Civil Surgeons
have been asked to give effect to it.
9. Cost of department. Statement II.—The total cost of
the department rose from Rs. 1,99,973-12-8 in 1925-26 to
Rs. 2,06,470-9-10 during the year. The increase was under
the heads of pay of vaccinators, travelling allowance and con-
tingencies. The slight increase under pay of vaccinators was
due to grant of annual increments to vaccinators. The cost
of each successful case was annas 6 and pies 6 against annas 6
and pies 7 in the preceding year. Excluding the expenditure
incurred in connection with the Vaccine Institute, Nagpur,
the cost per successful case stands at annas 5 and pies 9 against
annas 5 and pies 8 in 1925-26.
10. Supply of lymph.—Only glycerinated calf lymph pre-
pared at the Vaccine Institute was used. The supply was re-
ported to be satisfactory and the lymph good.
11. The following is a report on the working of the Insti-
tute as submitted by the Superintendent in charge, Dr. Edibam,
M.B., B.S., Dr.P.H. (Amer.).
"204 bovine calves, four buffalo calves and six rabbits were
operated on during the year, of these four bovine calves were
rejected on account of the poor result, and two failures occur-
red.
"Up to 12th January 1927 the calves were inoculated by
linear incisions with a blunt scalpel, the incisions being one inch
apart. From 19th January 1927 under instructions from the
Director of Public Health the method adopted by him in the
Punjab was introduced. In this method the whole of the
abdominal area, and a part of the flanks was scarified by special
forkshaped scarificators. The average output of lymph by
the old method was 30.49 grammes and by the new method
77.17 grammes.
"The total yield of pulp was 8,263.43 grammes equivalent
to 37,892 c.c. lymph or 757,840 doses.
"The cost of lymph works out at 5 pies per dose against
6 pies last year and 9 pies in the previous year.
"The average purchase price per calf was Rs. 13 and
the average amount, realized when sold, was Rs. 10 in round
figures.
"Four calves, infected with piraplasmosis, were disposed
of without being operated on.
"The whole province of 22 districts, the States of Raigarh,
Sirguja and Bhopal, military bodies, railways, jails, labour
4
associations and mission hospitals were supplied with lymph
on indents. The total supply of lymph to the whole province
was 684,720 doses, detailed below: —
614,090 doses—to the vaccinators of 22 districts.
70,630 doses—to the States and other institutions.
The balance of lymph on hand on 31st March 1927 was
18,543 c.c., i.e., 370,860 doses.
"Result of the working of the lymph in the province was
as follows:—
Primary
Revaccination
Gate success.

"The total expenditure was Rs. 25,262-9-3, of which
Rs. 13,387-3-0 were spent on salaries and travelling allowances,
the remainder on contingencies.
"The total receipt was Rs. 24,162-8-3 as detailed below :—-

"20 vaccinators, out of which two were private students,
16 schoolmasters and two Assistant Superintendents of Vacci-
nation were trained at the Institute. The training class was
conducted by the Assistant Superintendent Maroty Ram-
krishna; the training was supplemented by magic lantern lec-
tures on all the epidemic diseases by Dr. R. K. Mehta, Health
Publicity Officer.
"Lt.-Col. Stiles Webb when attending the All-India
Science Congress, Lahore, in January 1927 visited the Punjab
Vaccine Institute, of which he was one time Director and
renewed his acquaintance with the methods there, He is
introducing these into the Central Provinces Vaccine Institute
and expects to effect a saving of Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 1,500 at the
same time increasing efficiency."
The present system of sterilization, preparation and stor-
age requires overhauling and improving, and the Superintend-
ent has had instructions on these matters to which he is giving
careful attention.
12. Inspection of vaccination. Statement V.—In 1926-27
the Civil Surgeons inspected 8.55 per cent of the primary and
