GOVERNMENT OF MADRAS.
PUBLIC
DEPARTMENT.
READ—the following paper :—
From the Sanitary Commissioner for Madras, dated 22nd August 1888, No. 1217,
submitting a copy of the Report on Vaccination for 1887-88.
ORDER—dated 14th January 1889, No. 24, Public.
This is the first year since 1877-78 in which the Vaccination Report has been
separately submitted, instead of being incorporated with the Sanitary Commissioner's
Administration Report. The change has been made at the desire of the Government
of India, in order that the vaccine statistics may be given for the official, instead of, as
hitherto, for the calendar, year.
2. The following statement shows the total number of vaccine operations per-
formed in 1887-88 as compared with the four calendar years preceding. Figures for
the European and Native Armies have not been given for the year under review, and
the returns under this head have therefore been omitted from the totals of previous
years:—
—
Operations performed—
(a) By Government vaccinators in Agency Tracts.
(b) „ Local Fund vaccinators .. .. ..
(c) „ Municipal vaccinators, including Madras..
(d) In Cantonments .. .. .. ..
(e) „ Dispensaries .. .. .. ..
(ƒ) Other operations by medical subordinates ..
(g) In the Zemindaries of Jeypore and Arni ..

It will be observed that the work of the year, though better than that of 1886,
in consequence mainly of a slight increase in establishment, is still considerably
below that of the three years preceding. The average proportion of successful cases
was 94.3 in 100 against 94 in 1886.
3. Taken as a whole, the work of the Local Fund vaccinators shows considerable
improvement, and the outturn is higher than in any previous year. The work of the
Municipal vaccinators, on the other hand, continues very unsatisfactory, in spite of
vaccination having been made compulsory in many towns within the last two years.
The following towns show a decrease of over 10 per cent. in the number of operations
as compared with 1886 :—

These bad results have been already commented on in reviewing the adminis-
tration reports of the individual Municipalities, and the matter will be further dealt
with in the Local and Municipal Department in the general review of Municipal
operations throughout the Presidency.
4. The number of operations performed by medical officers in and out of
dispensaries shows a lamentable decrease, and the work of these officers has also been
very unsatisfactory in regard to the percentage of successful cases. Of the operations
performed inside dispensaries, only 82.6 were successful, while of those by medical
officers outside, no less than 51.7 per cent. were failures. The special attention of the
Surgeon-General is drawn to these figures. He will instruct District Surgeons to see
that their subordinates perform more operations and do their work in a less perfunc-
tory manner. Attention should also be given to the quality of the lymph supplied,
which has, no doubt, much to do with the poor results obtained. It must be clearly
understood that the existence of a separate vaccine staff does not in any way relieve
medical officers of the duty of assisting the spread of vaccination by every means in
their power.
5. The Government regret to notice that the number of cases inspected by 1st
class Deputy Inspectors was on the whole only 48 per cent. of the number of opera-
tions in their ranges. The inspection work was particularly bad in the Chingleput,
Permagudi, South Malabar, Námakal, Salem, South Canara I, and Jeypore ranges.
The attention of the Sanitary Commissioner is drawn to the remarks made on this
point in paragraph 11, G.O., 11th January 1888, No. 26, and he is requested to
report how far he has punished Deputy Inspectors who failed to verify 50 per cent. of
the operations in their ranges.
6. Animal vaccination was carried on in the districts of Bellary, Cuddapah,
Kurnool, Godávari, Vizagapatam, Salem, South Arcot, and Tanjore. 13,587 operations
were performed in this manner, but the percentage of successful cases was only
86.4. The average cost per successful case was, however, only 2 annas 4 pies against
4 annas 1 pie for operations generally.
7. The Government cannot characterize the work of the year as satisfactory,
though on some points it shows improvement over the results of 1886. If the
officials, and members of the various Boards and Councils concerned, took a personal
interest in the matter, much more could be done even with the existing staff, and His
Excellency the Governor in Council looks to those whose influence is of value in the
cause of vaccination to use it to the utmost.

SIR,
I HAVE the honor to submit statistical returns and brief notes on Vaccination in

and 128 probationers, showing an increase of 2 second-class Deputy Inspectors, 1 first
and 8 second-class vaccinators and 8 probationers.

quantity and quality. An increase is observable in the numbers returned by all classes
of workers, except medical subordinates, other than those attached to civil dispensaries
and Native States.
