G.O. No. 1177 L., 12th September 1918
Vaccination
Reviewing the report on the working of the — department in the Madras Presidency
during the year 1917-18.
READ—the following paper :—
Letter— from Major W. A. JUSTICE, M.B.C.M., D.P.H., I.M.S., Sanitary Commis
sioner for Madras.
To—the Secretary to Government, Local and Municipal Department.
Dated—the 19th August 1918.
No.—869-V.
ABSTRACT.—Submitting report on the working of the Vaccination department in the
Madras Presidency for 1917-18.
Order—No. 1177 L., dated 12th September 1918.
The report on vaccination was due with the Government on the 1st July but
was received only on the 23rd August. The Deputy Sanitary Commissioner explains
that revised returns called for from the Deputy Inspector of Vaccination, Bhadracha-
lam, and Chairman, Municipal Council, Nellore, were received only on the 13th and
15th June 1918, but this explanation does not account for the further delay of two
months and the Government must insist on punctuality.
2. The total number of vaccine operations performed during the year rose
slightly, from 1,699,926 to 1,707,278, or by .43 per cent. The number of deaths from
smallpox was 34,958 in 1917 as against 21,903 in 1916 : the increase occurred in all
districts except Anantapur, Ganjām, Gōdāvari, Chittoor and Kurnool. There were
large increases in the number of operations performed in the districts of Coimbatore,
Guntūr and Nellore; in these districts smallpox was epidemic in the year. In
Vizagapatam, Salem, Ganjām, Chittoor and Gódāvari, there were marked decreases
in the number of operations and smaller decreases in Ramnad and Kistna, though in
the two lastnamed districts and in Vizagapatam and Salem smallpox was prevalent.
The decreases are attributed to vacancies in the staff of vaccinators which could not
be filled up for want of suitable men and the poor quality of the work of the old set
of vaccinators who knew that they would be replaced by qualified men at the intro
duction of the revised scheme sanctioned under G.O. No. 963 L., dated 4th July
1917. The suggestion of the Sanitary Commissioner that the compulsory provisions
of the Madras Local Boards Act, 1884, should be extended further is commended to
all district boards.
3. The municipalities, as a whole, showed an increase of 20,300 cases, or 11.6
per cent, as compared with the previous year. Madura and Cochin showed marked
increases, while large decreases were noticed in Madras and Cocanada. The fall in
Madras is in revaccinations and is apparently a continued reaction from the very
high figures of 1915-16; in Cocanada it was apparently due to the action of the
municipal council which reduced the minimum outturn required from the vaccina
tors. The vaccinators took advantage of the relaxation without improving the
quality of their work and the council has been advised to replace them as soon as
possible.
No. 1177 L., 12TH SEPTEMBER 1918
3
deputy inspectors has been strengthened and an additional Deputy Sanitary Commis-
sioner joined duty towards the end of the year. The Government trust that, with
an improved staff of vaccinators and more efficient supervision, the results in the
current year will be more satisfactory.

* Supplied to the Port Health Officer, Negapatam.
It will be seen that the increased issue is mainly due to supplies made to the
Military Department. Slight rises are also found in the quantities issued to
Government officers including Jails and District Boards. The requirements of
municipalities and private bodies were somewhat less than last year. Those
of the Agency Tracts, Superintendent of Vaccination, Secunderabad, and the
Vaccinator, Bolarum, remained substantially the same. The issue to private
bodies included about 17,000 cases sent to the Medical Officer, Berbera, in the
Somaliland Protectorate.
3. No changes were made in the manufacture of the vaccine, the bulk of
which was as usual made up with lanoline. Glycerinated lymph was, however,
supplied to Madras City and to Colombo as in previous years.
4. The usual fortnightly despatch of vaccine was continued during the first
quarter of the year. From the 1st of July, however, the date from which the
new scheme brought in in compliance with G.O. No. 963 L., dated 4th July 1917,
took effect, three issues per month were made to the whole Presidency. Exceptions
to this rule were made in the case of the Agency vaccinators of Vizagapatam and
Gōdāvari districts. These vaccinators are still supplied once a fortnight owing
to the difficulty encountered in introducing the new system for want of proper
transport facilities in the Agency Tracts. In Ganjām district the revised scheme
was introduced in the Berhampur range alone.
5. The majority of vaccinators used up their supplies within the time specified,
but the practice of putting off one or more days before commencing work with a
fresh batch of paste still continues.
