2. VACCINATION
• Vaccination is one of the most cost effective strategies
available in public health today. In addition to
protecting the vaccinated individual from developing
a potentially serious disease, vaccines help protect the
community by reducing the spread of infectious
diseases.
• Immunization for infants worldwide has led to
important long term effects on the traditional
epidemiological patterns of major infectious diseases .

3. UNIVERSAL IMMUNIZATION PROGRAM
• Universal Immunisation Programme (UIP) is a vaccination programme
launched by the Government of India in 1985.
• It became a part of Child Survival and Safe Motherhood Programme in
1992 and is currently one of the key areas under National Rural Health
Mission since 2005. The programme now consists of vaccination for 12
diseases- tuberculosis, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), tetanus,
poliomyelitis, measles, hepatitis B, diarrhoea, Japanese encephalitis,
rubella, pneumonia (haemophilus influenza type B) and Pneumococcal
diseases (pneumococcal pneumonia and meningitis). Hepatitis B and
Pneumococcal diseases[2] were added to the UIP in 2007 and 2017
respectively.
• The other additions in UIP through the way are inactivated polio vaccine
(IPV), rotavirus vaccine (RVV), Measles-Rubella vaccine (MR). Four new
vaccines have been introduced into the country’s Universal
Immunisation Programme (UIP), including injectable polio vaccine, an
