2. INTRODUCTION
ο Immunization is the process whereby a person is
made immune or resistant to an infectious
disease, typically by the administration of a
vaccine. Immunization against vaccine
preventable diseases is essential to reduce the
child mortality, morbidity and handicapped
condition.
4. VACCINES
ο Vaccines are immune- biological substance which
produce specific protection against a given
disease.
ο It stimulate active production of protective
antibody and other immune mechanisms.
ο Vaccines are prepared from live attenuated
organism and killed attenuated organism.
6. Killed vaccines-
ο BACTERIAL- Pertussis, typhoid, cholera

7. IMMUNOGLOBULIN
ο The human immunoglobulin (Ig) system is
composed of 5 major classes (IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD
& IgE) and subclasses within them.
8.
9. ANTISERA OR ANTITOXINS
ο The term antisera is applied to the material
prepared in animal. Organically passive immunity
was achieved by the administration of antisera or
antitoxins prepared from non-human sources like
horse.

dose
Complication
ο Fever
ο Malaise
ο Rashes
33. NATIONAL IMMUNIZATION SCHEDULE
ο Immunization schedule should be planned
according to the needs of the community.
ο It must be effective, feasible and acceptable by
the community. Every country has its own
immunization schedule.
34. ο The WHO launched global immunization program in
1974, known as Expended Program on
Immunization(EPI) to protect all the children of the
world against six killer disease.
ο In INDIA EPI was launched in January 1978
ο The EPI is now renamed as Universal Child
Immunization, as per declaration sponsored by
UNICEF
35. ο In INDIA, it is called Universal Immunization
Program (UIP) and was launched in November
1985.

39. NUTRITIONAL NEEDS OF THE NEWBORN
ο Proper nutrition is essential for optimal growth
and development
ο First few months of life, the brain grows at a
rapid rate
ο Adequate food and nutrition is for physiological
and psychological needs
ο During feeding the parent is close to the infant
40. ο If a warm relationship does not happen the baby
may fail to thrive nutritional allowance for the
newborn
41. NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENT
ο Healthy term babies grow well with intake of 90-
120 kcal/kg/D
ο 125-140 kcal/kg/D is the energy required by
preterm infants to achieve a growth rate of
15g/kg/D
42. NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENT
PROTEIN β
ο Recommendation allowance 15-20% daily
calories
ο If energy intake is low, dietary protein cannot be
utilized fully for tissue synthesis hence azothemia
can occur
44. FAT
ο Recommended daily intake :
50% of daily calories for preterm infants
30-40% for term and mature infants
ο Fat intake of >60% of total calories may lead to
ketosis
45. ο CARBOHYDRATES-
ο Carbohydrates constitute 40-50% of total daily
calories
ο Almost all the carbohydrates in the human milk
and infant formula is lactose
ο Preterm formula contains 50% lactose and 50%
glucose
46. MINERALS-
ο Accretion of calcium, phosphorus , magnesium
and iron is maximal at third trimester of
pregnancy
ο Preterm infants are more prone to mineral
deficiency because of this as well as difficulty in
stabilizing adequate enter
ο minerals are inorganic element required for
growth, repair and regulation of vital body
function.
48. VITAMINS-
Are essential metabolic factors
Toxicity can occur with fat soluble vitamin because
it can be stored in the tissues
Toxicity with water-soluble vitamin is unusual
because of high renal clearance and low storage
capacity
Vitamin content in breast milk change with course
of lactation
49. Daily recommended intake
ο Vitamin A β 1500iu/kg/D
ο Vitamin D β 400iu/kg/D
ο Vitamin E β 6-12iu/kg/D
ο Vitamin K β 0.5-1 mg
50. HUMAN MILK
ο It is preferred wholesome milk for infant
ο When fortified, it is also the nutritionally optimal
diet for preterm infant
ο Milk produced by women who delivered
prematurely contains increased amount of
protein, sodium and zinc but decreased amount of
vitamin A
51. ο Human milk contain factors protective of
infections- leucocytes, immunoglobulins,
lactoferrin, lysozymes
ο Human milk has growth an differentiation factors
that may promote intestinal maturation
ο Composition of milk varies with motherβs health
& nutritional status
52. NURSES RESPONSIBILITY
ο The important responsibility of the pediatric
nurse is to provide nutritional counseling and
guidance to the parents, with goal of achieving
optimum nutrition throughout the year of growth
and development.
ο At 6 month-
ο Complementary feeding to be initiated.
ο Each food should be given for 3-6 times/day
53. 6-9 months-
ο Food items given in this period include rice, dal,
khichadi, pulses, boiled potato, bread, mashed
fruits etc
ο Egg yolk can be given from 6-7 months onwards
ο
54. 9-12 months-
ο New food items like fish, meat, chicken can be
introduced in this period.
ο Spices and condiments to be avoided
ο Breastfeeding to be continued
55. 12-18 months-
ο The child can take all food cooked in family and
needs half amount of mothers diet
ο Number of feeds can be 4-5 times or according to
the child need
ο Breastfeeding to be continued, especially at night
