Proceedings of His Honour the Officiating Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjab in the Home (Medical and
Sanitary) Department, No. 1394 S., dated 29th July 1907.
READ—
The Notes on Vaccination in the Punjab for the year 1906-07, by Lieutenant-Colonel
C. J. BAMBER, I.M.S., Sanitary Commissioner, Punjab.
REMARKS.—Vaccination operations during the year were considerably
retarded by the prevalence of malaria in many districts during the first part of
the season and by the very serious increase of plague in the province between
January and March. The number of vaccinations performed (705,219) was
considerably below the record for the two previous years, though above the
average of the preceding quinquennium. The special staff succeeded in in-
creasing their previous record of operations, but this was more than counter-
balanced by the falling off in the returns of the district staff. The decrease in
re-vaccinations, both among males and females, in spite of the special
system under which one-eighth of a district is dealt with every year is disappoint-
ing, but is almost entirely due to the causes referred to above. The percentage
of success in primary vaccinations has improved, but the results in cases of re-
vaccination are not so good as those of the previous year.
2. The glycerinated lymph treated with chloroform manufactured at the
Central Vaccine Institute was used in over 176,000 operations and has again
proved a marked success, giving the most satisfactory results both in primary
and re-vaccination operations. The Institute was efficiently supervised by
Captain Mackenzie, to whom much credit is due for the results obtained. A
scheme for expanding the Institute has been sanctioned and will be carried
through as soon as funds can be made available.
3. The total cost of the department was Rs. 99,605, or Rs. 1,903 more
than the previous year. The increase is mainly due to extra expenditure con-
nected with the special staff and to charges on account of the establishments
entertained on the creation of the new district of Lyallpur. The average cost of
each successful operation was two annas and five pies, a slightly higher rate
than that of the previous year.
4. The record of inspection work performed by Civil Surgeons was
fairly satisfactory in most districts, but the number of inspections made in
Karnál, Ambála Montgomery and Siálkot was insufficient. Lieutenant-Colonel
Bamber held charge of the department throughout the year, and the Officiating
Lieutenant-Governor desires to thank him for his services in connection with its
administration.
ORDER.—Ordered that the above remarks be published in the Punjab
Government Gazette, and be communicated to the Sanitary Commissioner,
Punjab, for information and guidance, and also that they be forwarded with the
report, as usual, to the Government of India in the Home Department.
By order of His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor,
A. B. KETTLEWELL,
Secretary to Government, Punjab.

the other Native States show a decrease in their vaccination work in 1906-07.
As regards the quality of work done in the Native States, the percentage of
success in primary cases ranges from 87.59 in Nabha to 98.99 in Patiala. In
Patiala the percentage of successful re-vaccinations was 77.75. In all the other
States, the number of re-vaccinations was very insignificant.
Vaccination work
in
municipal towns, Appen-
dix A.
16. Of the total number of children under one year of age available for the
operation in 1906-07, seventy one per cent. were success-
fully vaccinated in the towns in which the Vaccination Act
is in force and sixty-seven per cent. in those in which it is
not compulsory, as against eighty-five and sixty-six per cent., respectively, in
1905-06 and seventy-three and sixty per cent. in 1904-05. Vaccination is better
attended to in the towns where it is compulsory, but even in these, much improve-
ment could be effected by a strict application of the provisions of the Act.
Results of glycerinated
vaccine.
17.
It appears from the report furnished by Captain Mackenzie, who
was in charge of the Central Vaccine Institute, that during
the months of November to February 152,080 primary
vaccinations and 24,603 re-vaccinations were performed with chloroformed
glycerinated vaccine with an average case success of 99.88 per cent. and insertion
success of 98.72 per cent. in primary operations, and a case success of 81.00 per-
cent. and an insertion success of 80.16 per cent. in re-vaccinations. These results
are most satisfactory. Captain Mackenzie deserves much credit for the efficient
manner in which he supervised the work of the Institute.
The Central Vaccine In-
stitute.
18. The Punjab Government have sanctioned the scheme proposed by
me for the expansion of the work of the Central Vaccine
Institute, with the view to supply tubed vaccine to every
district of the province. The plans and estimates of the proposed buildings are
being scrutinized by the Public Works Department.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,

Sanitary Commissioner, Punjab.
