ANNEXURE I.
ANNUAL REPORT ON THE WORK OF THE VACCINE SECTION OF
THE KING INSTITUTE OF PREVENTIVE MEDICINE, GUINDY.
1913—1914.
The total amount of vaccine supplied by the Institute during the year under
report amounts to 1,972,165 cases which is 84,526 cases more than in 1912-13. A
reference to last year's report shows that the supply for that year fell short of
the estimated amount by 77,000 cases. So it will be seen that last year's deficit
has been more than made good. The total for this year is in fact the highest
total ever issued since the Institute was opened, but the advance over the year
1908-09 is so small that it may be doubted whether the total requirements will
ever much exceed two million cases.
Table I shows the quantity of vaccine issued to various bodies for the quin-
quennium 1909-10—1913—14.

As in past years the fluctuations are greatest in the smaller amounts supplied,
and these show a variation from—15 per cent. in the case of the amount supplied to
Agency Tracts, to +124 per cent. in the case of the amount supplied to the Military
Department. The overall increase is approximately 5 per cent. and the increase in
the amount supplied to District Boards, the main item of supply, is 4.2 per cent.
As usual, the bulk of the material issued was lanolinated vaccine; but Madras
City and Colombo continued to take glycerinated vaccine.
The system of fortnightly dispatches was continued in the main ; but in certain
of the "trial scheme" areas, Chingleput and parts of North and South Arcot,
dispatches three times a month were commenced. It is not possible to say whether
the new system resulted in any improvement, since the results shown by circles
are not yet available. Chingleput, as a whole, and it was wholly supplied on the
new system for four months, shows a marked improvement ; but Coimbatore,
which was not so supplied, shows one nearly as great.
Fortnightly returns continued to be made with considerable irregularity and
returns, a year overdue, were not unknown. It is apparently very difficult for
vaccinators to get themselves out of the groove of habit. They still continue to
send, in the main, fortnightly returns, when monthly returns through their Deputy
Inspectors of Vaccination are all that is called for.
The extra supplies sent out to Districts and Municipalities amounted to
14.25 per cent. of their regular supplies which is a larger proportion than last year.

N.B.—In calculating the cost per case of vaccine, Rs. 936-11-0 has been deducted from Rs. 48,912-15-11 as the
farmer represents registration charges and it will be charged to the bodies concerned.
As will be seen from tables II, III and IV there has been an increase of rather
over Rs. 2,000 in the working costs. This increase is mainly due to higher
establishment charges. The net cost has been farther increased by a drop of
about Rs. 700 in the sums credited to Government. This has resulted in a
small rise amounting to 0.07 pies per case in the cost of the vaccine, which stands
for the year at 4.840069 pies per case.

Table V shows the success rate obtained monthwar. It is gratifying to be
able to record an overall improvement of close on 3.6 per cent. over last year.
The temperature effect is more regular this year but is a month later. Thus
June is the worst month of the year while February is the best. May 1913 made a
most remarkable recovery and stands nearly 7 per cent. better than in 1912. The
success rate then drops sharply to its minimum in June and thence rises steadily
till November. There is therefore no sign of the autumnal fall which has been a
REPORT OF THE KING INSTITUTE, GUINDY.

Table VII is re-introduced this year, but for the quinquennium only. In spite
of its notable improvement this year, Coimbatore still occupies the foot of the list
and is very nearly 20 per cent. worse than Bellary over the whole five years.
Farthermore unless it makes a still farther improvement next year, its position
will be relatively worse, since the good effects of earlier years are being eliminated.

Table VIII has also been modified to include five years only. The great im-
provement in the success rate obtained in 1913 during the months of September
and October, all but obliterate the autumnal variation noticed in the previous five
years. It is still slightly in evidence however.

Table IX shows that the maximum periods during which lanoline paste was
stored were much longer than in the previous year, whereas the minimum periods
were much shorter. As usual, the storage period was more constant during the
summer months, when no vaccine was made. No dileterious effect of storage on
the vaccine can be made out.
