FROM
LIEUT.-COLONEL W. H. C. FORSTER, D.P.H., I.M.S.,
Director of Public Health, Punjab,
To
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT, PUNJAB,
TRANSFERRED DEPARTMENTS.
Dated Lahore, the 8th November 1927.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to forward for the information of the Punjab Government
(Ministry of Local Self-Government) the Annual Vaccination Returns for the
year 1926-27, and to make the following report in regard to the progress of vac-
cination during the period under review.
Administration.
2. I was in charge of the Department throughout the year. Khan Bahadur
Dr. K. A. Rahman held charge of the office of Assistant Director of Public
Health (Technical) Vaccination throughout the year under report and Mili-
tary Assistant Surgeon H. C. Phillips, I.M.D., held the post of Superinten-
dent, Punjab Vaccine Institute, throughout the year.
Strength of Vacci-
nation establish-
ment—Statement
No. II.
3. The total number of Superintendents of Vaccination and vaccinators
employed by the local bodies in the province during the year under report is as
shown in the table below :—

The increase of one Superintendent of Vaccination during the year 1926-27,
as compared with 1925-26, is due to the appointment of a senior vaccinator in
the Montgomery district to act as an additional Superintendent of Vaccination in
connection with measures for combating sporadic outbreaks of small-pox
and for the more effective supervision of vaccination in out-lying tracts of
this district.
An increased number of vaccinators, as compared with the preceding year,
was employed in the districts of Lyallpur (8), Gujrat (6), Montgomery (5), Jhang
(5), Sialkot (4), Gurgaon (3), Ambala (3), Amritsar (3), Kangra (2), Lahore (2),
Rohtak (1), Jhelum (1), Rawalpindi (1), Multan (1), but the number of vacci-
nators was reduced in the districts of Ludhiana (1) and Muzaffargarh (2). The
increase in the number of vaccinators is partly due to the adoption of the thanawar
system of vaccination and partly to the temporary engagement of vaccinators
for the purpose of combating outbreaks of small-pox.
The strength of the special vaccination staff, which comprises 2
Superintendents of Vaccination and 20 vaccinators, remained unaltered
throughout the year.
Cost of the Depart-
ment—Statement
No. II.
4. The total cost of the Department (including the cost of the Punjab
Vaccine Institute) as detailed in Statement No. II amounted to Rs. 3,05,328 or an
increase of Rs. 29,094 as compared with the figures (Rs. 2,76,234) for the preced-
ing year. The increase of expenditure is due chiefly to the grade promotion of
the vaccination staff and to enhanced expenditure under the head of contin-
gencies. Of the total cost of Rs. 3,05,328, the sum contributed by provincial
funds amounted to Rs. 97,672, by local funds Rs. 1,63,390, by municipal funds
Rs. 41,334, and by cantonment funds Rs. 2,932.

and 59 and Jind, 8,593 primary operations only. These figures show a small
increase in the number of persons vaccinated, as compared with the previous
year, in the States of Nabha, Jind and Kapurthala.
The percentage of success in primary vaccination was reported to be
99.36 in Patiala, 99.60 in Bahawalapur, 69.30 in Kapurthala, 89.08 in Nabha
99.55 in Faridkot and 98.20 in Jind.
In Patiala, Bahawalpur, Kapurthala, Nabha and Faridkot the percentage
of successful re-vaccinations was 75.31, 88.89, 53.10, 79.59 and 78.95 res-
pectively.
Vaccination in
Municipal towns.
18. Of the total number of children available for vaccination in the
towns in which the Vaccination Act is in force 87 per cent. were successfully
vaccinated as against 88 in the previous year, whilst the percentage of success-
ful vaccinations in the case of towns in which vaccination is not compulsory
was 66 per cent during the year 1926-27, as compared with 56 per cent. in
1925-26.
During the year under report the provisions of the Vaccination Act were
extended to the following towns :—
Budhlada, Mandi Jakhal, Fattehabad, Hodal, Hidayatpur Chhawani,
Nuh, Sadhaura, Kharar, Mukerian, Dasuya, Garhshanker, Miani, Una, Khanna,
Kot Rai Boota Mal-cum-Azamabad, Baghbanpura-Bhogiwal, Tarn Taran, Ram-
-as, Majitha, Narowal, Akalgarh, Khangah Dogran, Chuharkana Mandi,
Chakwal, Pindigheb, Toba Tek Singh, Mailsi and Talamba.
Inoculation.
19. The dangerous practice of inoculation still exists in certain parts of the
Punjab. During the year under report a number of people in Dera Ghazi Khan
district were inoculated with the result that small-pox broke out in epidemic
form and persisted for a long time. The names and the addresses of the persons
who performed these inoculations were obtained and forwarded to the Deputy
Commissioner for necessary action but it will not be possible to stop this
practice until small-pox inoculation is made illegal.
Diagram.
20. A diagram showing the death-rate from small-pox per 10,000 of
population during the year 1926-27, the average recorded death-rate from small-
pox for the five years ending 1925-26, the proportion of successful vaccinations
during the year 1926-27, and during the preceding six years per 10,000 of popu-
lation in each district of the province is attached to the report.
21. A brief report by Khan Bahadur Dr. K.A. Rahman on the working
of the Punjab Vaccine Institute during the year 1926-27 is given in Appendix
C.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
W. H. C. FORSTER, LT.-COL., I.M.S.,
Director of Public Health, Punjab.
