ORDERS OF GOVERNMENT.
No. 326/ XVI -231B/4 of 1896
RESOLUTION.
SANITATION DEPARTMENT.
Dated Naini Tal, the 28th October 1896.
READ—
Annual Report on Vaccination in the North-Western Provinces and Oudh for 1895-96.
OBSERVATIONS.—The report was due on the 1st July, but did
not reach the Press in a complete form until the middle of September.
The delay in submission is stated by the Superintendent-General
to be principally due to the retardation of the district returns by the
continuance of vaccination operations, owing to the prevalence of
small-pox, beyond the usual date in the early months of 1896. This
cannot be considered as a wholly satisfactory explanation.
2. The period covered by the report is that of the three years
ending the 31st March 1896, though the year 1895-96 is more parti-
cularly referred to. The period has been one of considerable progress
and activity. In 1893 the executive control of the vaccination staff
in each district was transferred to Civil Surgeons, and arrangements
were made which enabled them, with some few exceptions, to tour in
their respective districts and inspect the work of the vaccinators.
The measure permitted the Government to abolish one of the
three Deputy Sanitary Commissionerships, and the three Vacci-
nation Circles were redistributed into two. This accession of
strength to the Vaccination Department is stated to have been
most beneficial, and the statistics of work unquestionably show
a great improvement. For the three years ending the 31st March
1893 the average number of vaccinations performed a year was
1,053,756 : for the three years which have just expired it is 1,428,583.
The average number of successful primary vaccinations was 886,698
a year for 1890—93, and 1,245,074 a year for 1893—96. The increase
of successful primary vaccinations during the triennial period under
report is thus 40 per cent. If the last year of this period be compared
with 1890-91, the first year of the preceding triennial period, the
increase is 55 per cent. The expenditure on vaccination has slightly
decreased during the period, owing to the reduction of one of the
Deputy Sanitary Commissionerships.

Azamgarh it is also much below the birth rate. In the Benares
Division there has been considerable improvement, but there is room
for more. In the important district of Allahabad the figures are very-
unsatisfactory, and the attention of the District Board will be directed
to the matter. In this district the number of persons vaccinated per
vaccinator in 1895-96 was only 1,248 against the provincial average of
1,753, so that there is no excuse on the ground of an insufficient staff.
In some of the Oudh districts and some districts in the Gorakhpur and
Benares Divisions the work done by each vaccinator compares favour-
ably with the provincial average, and as vaccination becomes more
popular some increase in the staff in these densely crowded districts
may have to be provided by district boards.

4. The ultimate aim of the Department is to secure the vaccina-
tion of every child in the provinces within twelve months of its birth.
To secure this the number of children annually vaccinated should not
be less than 80 per cent. of the births of the year, the difference roughly
representing infantile mortality. The figures given in paragraph 16
of the report show that in 1895-96 the number of successful primary
vaccinations was 79.76* per cent. of the total births. This is a closer
approximation to the birth rate than has ever before been attained.
But it must be noted, in partial explanation of this satisfactory result,
that the birth rate in 1895, on account of causes which have been
discussed in the Sanitation Report for the year, was very much lower
than that for the two preceding years. It has also to be noted
that, owing to the leeway which the Department has still to make
up in parts of the
Province, notably in
the 2nd Circle, only
43 per cent. of the
persons vaccinated
were children born
during the year. The
distinction between
the two circles in
this respect is very
remarkable. In the
1st Circle, in most districts of which vaccination has long been
thoroughly established, few of the adult population are unvaccinated,
and infantile vaccination is the rule. In the 2nd Circle infantile
vaccination is the exception, and vaccination of children over the age
of one year and of adults is the rule. The future progress of the
Department in the 2nd Circle will be gauged to a great extent by the
increase in infantile vaccination.
5. No change was made during the triennial period in the
method of supplying lymph to the districts for starting vaccination in
the beginning of the cold season. Lymph was, as usual, collected
during the rains in the higher hills of Kumaun by a special staff of
vaccinators and despatched to the plains in September and October.
* The percentage 73.74 shown in column 5 of the table in paragraph 16 against the 1st Circle for
the year 1893-94 is incorrect. The correct figures are 43.74.
( 4 )
Animal lymph was used to supplement this supply in a few places
where local depôts are established, but it loses its efficacy in a few days
unless it is preserved in a special medium under skilled supervision.
The Lieutenant-Governor and Chief Commissioner hopes to be able to
give effect to a scheme submitted by the Superintendent-General for
establishing a central depôt in the hills for the preparation of bovine
lymph in a form suitable for transport to the plains. Should this
succeed, the present special arrangements for the collection of human
lymph in the hot weather and the rains by carrying on vaccination
operations in the hills may by degrees be dispensed with.

6. Municipal vaccination shows an improvement in the year
under report, the ratio of successful vaccinations per mille of the popu-
lation within municipal limits being 38.15
against 34.92 in 1894-95. In the muni-
cipalities mentioned in the margin the ratio
is low, and in them the provisions of the
Vaccination Act require to be more effec-
tively enforced. The remarks in paragraph
22 of the report as to the common practice
of omitting to bring the names of children who have escaped vaccination
in one year on Register No. 2, and as to defective birth registration in
many municipalities, notably in Allahabad and Bareilly, will be brought
to the notice of the chairmen of municipal boards. The average number
of persons vaccinated by each municipal vaccinator within municipal
limits was only 957. As 2,000 vaccinations is not an excessive outturn
of work for a vaccinator, municipal vaccinators have, as a rule, ample
time for working in rural areas bordering on municipal limits. In the
Government orders on the report for 1894-95 the short-sighted policy
of some municipalities in refusing to allow their vaccinators to per-
form work beyond municipal limits was noticed. The figures given
above show that such work may be permitted without detriment to the
needs of the municipality.
7. The services of the gentlemen mentioned in paragraph 23 of
the report as having given special assistance to vaccination during the
year will be separately acknowledged. The acknowledgments of the
Government are due to Surgeon-Major Thomson, Sanitary Commis-
sioner and Superintendent-General of Vaccination, for his clear and
interesting report, and to him and to the Deputy Sanitary Commissioners
for the care with which they have supervised the operations of the
Department. The report omits to mention the names of District Magis-
trates and Civil Surgeons to whom the Department was most indebted
for aid during the year. This omission should be corrected in future
reports.
ORDER.—Ordered that a copy of this Resolution be forwarded
to the Sanitary Commissioner and Superintendent-General of Vaccina-
tion, North-Western Provinces and Oudh, for information.
( 5 )
Ordered also that a copy, with a copy of the Report, be forwarded
to the Secretary to the Government of India, Home Department, for
the information of His Excellency the Governor-General in Council.
By order, &c.,

Secy. to Govt., N.-W. P. and Oudh.

ANNUAL REPORT
ON
VACCINATION
IN THE
NORTH-WESTERN PROVINCES AND OUDH,
FOR THE YEAR 1896-97.
The report for 1896-97.
1. The triennial report on vaccination for the years 1893-94, 1894-95,
and 1895-96 was submitted last year. The remarks
for the year 1896-97 are therefore brief in character.
Constitution and strength of the
Vaccination Department.
2. In the following table are shown the constitution and strength of the Depart-
ment during the year under report. The distri-
bution of vaccinators differs somewhat from that
during last year in consequence of the application of the scheme for the more even
distribution of Government vaccinators with regard to population. There were
eight more men employed than during the previous season :—
Circle.
First Circle, comprising the Meerut, Agra, Rohilkhand
and Allahabad Divisions and British Garhwál and
Native State, Tehri-Garhwál.
Second Circle, comprising the Province of Oudh, the
Benares and Gorakhpur Divisions, and the districts of
Almora and Naini Tal.

A considerable increase in the number of infants vaccinated is noticeable in the
2nd Circle.
Vaccination in municipalities.
6. The number of persons successfully vaccinated per mille of population in
municipalities was 38.55 as compared with 28.87
for the whole of the Provinces. Exclusive of hill
stations, the municipalities best protected were Sultánpur, Gonda, Balrámpur and
Sambhal. The worst were Jaunpur, Allahabad and Jhánsi. The statistics suffi-
ciently indicate the very varying degrees of interest taken in the matter by local
authorities.
Diagrams accompanying report.
7. A diagram illustrating the deaths from small-pox in these Provinces for a
series of years, and another showing the relation
between the death-rate from small-pox and the
proportion of population protected by vaccination in each district during the past
season, are attached.

Primary vaccinations and deaths
from small-pox.
8. The following table shows the number of successful primary vaccinations
and the number of deaths from small-pox in each
district of the Provinces for a series of 10 years:—

Thakur Maharaj Singh, Taluqdár of Hatheora, Hardoi.
Raja Madho Singh of Bharawan, Hardoi.
Conduct of officials.
13. The conduct of officials was reported generally to be good. Constant
vigilance, however, is necessary on the part of
inspecting officers to ensure a trustworthy and
accurate record of operations being maintained, and to keep lazy and dishonest
vaccinators up to their work.
Delay in appearance of report.
14. The report was delayed by the non-receipt of the returns from the Saháran-
pur district, which is to some extent explained by
the fact that most of the vaccinators were employed
on plague operations at Hardwar. This is not altogether satisfactory, however, and
certain offenders have been fined.
