Results with glycerinated
lymph.
It will be seen from the above statement that a high standard of success
was attained with glycerinated lymph in all districts
except Sind where a few experimental trials only
were made.
Animal vaccination.
13. During the year vaccination from calf to arm was carried out in the
Southern and Sind Districts and in the Presidency
Circle.
Vaccine
Institute,
Belgaum.
14. The new buildings though incomplete were occupied in August 1910.
During the year 635,282 doses were distributed as
compared with 649,972 in 1909-10 and 606,005 in
1908-09. Of this vaccine, 595,589 doses were sent to
vaccinators of the Presidency and the result was 527,759 operations against
525,441 in 1909-10 and 498,278 in 1908-09. The case and insertion success
rates in primary vaccination were 99.02 and 95.26 per cent., respectively, as
compared with 99.22 and 95.33 per cent. in 1909-10 and 97.22 and 94.78
per cent. in 1908-09.
15. During the triennium under review great progress in spite of many
difficulties has been made at the Vaccine Institute. The distribution of vaccine,
which had reached 544,408 doses during the last year of the previous triennium,
has exceeded 600,000 doses during each of the past three years, while during
the same period the case success rate has risen from 95.61 to 99.02 per cent.
in primary vaccination. Preserved lymph is now in use throughout the
greater part of the Presidency and its Native States, and its introduction into
Sind is only delayed by absence of adequate cold storage.
It has been found impossible to guarantee uniform high potency lymphs
throughout the year. There is an optimum season for production of lymph,
which depends on various factors of temperature and of the health and feeding
of calves, and as soon as the cold storage plant is installed it will be possible to
to take full advantage of this period in which to make a whole year's supply of
lymph, which improves under proper conditions of storage.
16. The total cost of the Institute during the year amounted to Rs.22,860-5-0
against Rs. 23,538-10-10 in 1909-10 and Rs. 23,023-11-6 in 1908-09, and the
average cost of production was 5.14 pies against 5.4 pies last year.
Cost of Vaccination State-
ment No. II.
17. The expenditure on vaccination amounted to Rs. 3,56,870-6-10 as
compared with Rs. 3,47,974-6-9 in 1909-10 and
Rs. 3,27,369-12-10 in 1908-09, the average annual ex-
penditure during these three years being Rs. 3,44,071
against Rs. 3,07,122 in the preceding triennium. The increase is due to the
difference in pay drawn by Deputy Sanitary Commissioners, the payment
of pony allowance to vaccinators and the entertainment of additional staff.
The successful cases, excluding vaccination in dispensaries, were 618,882.
The average cost for each successful case was annas 9 and pies 3, against annas
8 and pies 10 in 1909-10 and annas 8 and pies 5 in 1908-09.
