TRIENNIAL REPORT
OF
VACCINATION IN BENGAL.
FOR THE YEARS
1896-97, 1897-98 AND 1898-99.
Officer in charge of the Depart-
ment.
THIS report deals with the triennial period 1896-97 to 1898-99. I was
in charge of the Department throughout that
period.
2. In the Metropolitan and Northern Bengal Circles there were no
Deputy Sanitary Commissioners for the greater part of the years 1897-98 and
1898-99, and I had consequently to look after the current duties of their offices
in addition to my own work. The Western Bengal Circle was for the most
part in charge of an Assistant Surgeon. The department was thus worked
under extraordinary disadvantages.
Strength of staff.
3. The following table shows the strength of the vaccination establish-
ment during the triennial period under review,
as compared with each of the three corresponding
previous years.

REMARKS.

Decrease of nine head vaccina-
tors is due to the abolition of
the Government paid agency
in Angul and to the fact that
the two head vaccinators
hitherto known to have been
emploted by the Raja of the
Hindol Tributary State were
for the first time this year
found to be no better than
licensed vaccinators, as they
received no pay but held small
jaigirs and were authorized
10 realize fees for vaccination.
Decrease of 95 paid vaccina-
tors is due to the abolition of
the Government paid agency
in Angul and to a less number
of paid vaccinators having
been employed in Puri. In-
crease in the number of
licensed vaccinators needs no
explanation.

* Includes 7 head vaccinators of Angul, whose services were dispensed with after the 15th May 1897.

REMARKS.

The decrease of four municipa
vaccinators is due to a less
number having been employed
by some municipalities.
Number of operations performed
and average per man.
4. The following statement shows, district by district, and in Calcutta,
the Animal Vaccination Depôt, and municipalities
separately, the total number of vaccinators, the
total number of operations they performed, and
the average per man during each of the three years under review, the average
of the three years and the average of the previous three years for purposes of
comparison: —
( 5 )
In 1898-99 it is said to be due to the occurrence of plague in the Munshi-
ganj subdivision.
Noakhali.—Due to there having been less field of work among the Ferazi
Muhammadans, who had been vaccinated in large numbers during previous
years.
Chittagong Hill Tracts.—Decrease due to the field of work having diminished,
a large number of children having been vaccinated during the previous
triennial period.
Saran.—In 1896-97 the decrease was due to the inability of the people to
pay for vaccination on account of the famine which was prevailing in the
district. In 1898-99 it is attributed to the introduction of the six-puncture
system of vaccination and to there having been no epidemic small-pox in the
district.
Darbhanga.—Due principally to the falling off of more than 20,000 opera-
tions during the year 1896-97 on account of the prevalence of famine in the
district. In 1898-99 the decrease is attributed to floods.
Sonthal Parganas.—In 1897-98 the decrease was said to be due to the
prevailing scarcity and to several families having emigrated to other districts.
In 1898-99, the cause ascribed is the want of supervision on the part of a Sub-
Inspector of Vaccination. This explanation cannot be accepted as satisfactory.
Angul.—Decrease due to less subjects having been left for vaccination
after the paid agency was withdrawn from the district.
Hazaribagh.—In 1897-98 the decrease was said to be due to sickness
among vaccinators and the children to be vaccinated. In 1898-99 it is ascribed
to the low birth-rate during the late famine. The birth-rate is said to have
risen in July and August 1898, but it was too late to provide enough children
to restore vaccination operations to the former level.
Ranchi.—Falling off of operations took place chiefly in 1898-99. The
Civil Surgeon explains this to be due to a large number of persons having
emigrated to Assam. This explanation is not satisfactory.
Manbhum.—The decrease occurred in 1898-99, on account of plague
scare.
Primary vaccination.
5. Of the total number of operations shown in the statement in the
preceding paragraph the following were primary
vaccinations:—
( 8 )
For the reason explained in the last triennial report, this table has been
prepared for the last year of the period under review, and a column has been
added for purposes of comparison, showing the proportion of persons success-
fully vaccinated in 1895-96 per thousand of the surviving population under
one year of age available for vaccination.
It will be seen that with the exception of a few districts, the protection
afforded to infants in 1898-99 was greater than it was three years ago. The
noticeable feature of this return is the great variation which exists in the
several districts regarding the degree of protection afforded to infants under
one year. Whereas in Malda the number of infants successfully vaccinated per
thousand was as large as 856, in Puri it was only 24. No doubt the pre-
judice to infant vaccination which exists in many districts accounts to
some extent for the difference as shown in this table, but I am inclined to
think that, in some districts at least, the successful results are due to the
interest and activity shown by the local officers in pushing on vaccination.
I do not see any reason why, with persevering care and tact on the part of the
local officers, the ratio of successful infant vaccination can not be much higher
than it is at present.
Revaccination.
7. The following table shows the particulars of revaccination for the
three years under review as compared with the
previous triennial period:—
( 15 )
Diagram illustrating death-rate from small-
pox, and degree of protection afforded.
14. In accordance with precedent I give the following diagrams illustrating the death-rates from small-pox in each
district during each of the three years of the triennial period under review with side by side the proportion of population pro-
tected against the disease by vaccination during the seven preceding years :—
1890—97.
