Diagram illustrating death-rates from small-pox,
and degree of protection afforded.
10. The following diagram illustrates the death-rates from small-pox in
each district with side by side the proportion of population protected against
the disease by vaccination during the past seven years :—
1901—1908.
NOTE.-Thin lines indicats the death-rates from small-pox.
Thick lines indicate the proportion of population protected by vaccination.
( 10 )
(c) General introduction of antiseptic vaccination throughout the Province.—
This has been attended with beneficial results, there being
a general diminution of sore arms. Unfavourable reports have,
however, been received from a very few districts. The failure
is, I believe, due to the neglect of the vaccinators in using the
wool properly and to the want of proper supervision by the
inspecting staff. Steps are being taken to remedy the defects
where they exist.
(d) General introduction of the system of the grant of rewards to vaccinators.
—This has led in most districts to a competition of work among
vaccinators, and one of the causes of the gradually increasing
success in infant vaccination is due to it.
(e) General introduction of lanoline lymph in the districts comprised within
the Bengal and Orissa Circle.—Superiority of this method of
vaccination over the arm-to-arm process is beyond question. It
is liked not only by the educated community, but also by the
masses.
(f) Supply of lymph direct to vaccinators in the districts supplied by the
Calcutta Depôt.—This has undoubtedly facilitated work and
prevents the lymph from deteriorating.
(g) Special measures adopted for pushing on vaccination in Orissa.—Owing
to the abnormally high mortality from small-pox in Orissa for
years past, a special and thorough enquiry was made into the
matter last year and it was discovered that this unsatisfactory
result was mainly due to the backward state of vaccination there
which was the inevitable result of opposition to vaccination,
specially in the case of infants under one year of age, and to
some extent of the want of co-operation between the vaccination
and the district executive staff. I held a conference with the
Magistrate of Puri, Mr. Hamilton, and the Civil Surgeon, Captain
King, and also moved the Divisional Commissioner on the above
points, and as a result of this, steps have been taken to furnish
the Civil Surgeon with the tour programme of the District
Magistrate, so that the subordinate vaccination inspecting officers
may appear before him in the mufassal and invoke his aid
whenever necessary. Other measures are also being adopted
for the removal of the drawbacks mentioned above, as far as
possible, and I am glad to say that the result so far has been very
satisfactory. The appointment of the Special Inspector, lately
sanctioned by Government, for Orissa is proving invaluable and
will, it is hoped, materially help in lessening the incidence of
small-pox there in a few years.
