The document provides a literature review of India's immunization program, including:
1) A history of India's immunization policy from 1978 to present, outlining the expansion of the program over time.
2) Current immunization status in India, targeting 27 million infants and 30 million pregnant women annually. Vaccines are provided free for six diseases.
3) Challenges and strategic recommendations to improve immunization coverage rates across India.
Claudia Llanten, MD, MPH of CMMB describes the importance of immunization in protecting the health of children and adults and how CMMB partners with other organizations to deliver vaccines at the CCIH 2018 conference.
This document summarizes a working paper that analyzes the poverty and social impact of Pakistan's Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) using a Poverty and Social Impact Analysis (PSIA) methodology. The paper finds that while EPI has been operating in Pakistan for over 30 years, the country still lags global targets on immunization coverage and eliminating diseases like polio. Through a literature review, household survey of 2,000 families, and micro-simulation analysis, the paper estimates that EPI has allowed 0.15 million additional workers to join the labor force since 1978 by reducing child mortality. However, coverage remains uneven across regions and genders. The paper concludes with recommendations to increase EPI's cost
Universal Immunization Program is a vaccination program launched by the Government of India in 1985.
It became a part of Child Survival and Safe Motherhood Program in 1992 and is currently one of the key areas under National Rural Health Mission(NRHM) since 2005.
Program consists of vaccination for 12 diseases -
Tuberculosis
Diphtheria
Pertussis
Tetanus,
Poliomyelitis,
Measles,
Hepatitis B,
Diarrhea,
Japanese-Encephalitis,
Rubella,
Pneumonia
Pneumococcal diseases
This document outlines a project called Zero Mothers Die that aims to reduce maternal and child mortality in developing countries through the use of mobile phones and ICT. It notes that hundreds of thousands of women and children still die each year from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. The project will provide pregnant women in Ghana with mobile phones, airtime, and health information messages to connect them to local healthcare workers. It will also provide tablets to health workers with training materials to improve care. The goals are to empower women with information, increase access to healthcare, and build local health capacity using mobile technology. Partnerships are sought to help implement and sustain the initiative.
The document discusses plans for the Intensified Pulse Polio Immunization (IPPI) program scheduled for February 19th and April 1st 2012. The objective of the meeting is to seek intersectoral coordination and collaboration from government departments and NGOs to sensitize stakeholders and discuss innovations and action plans to ensure participation and coverage of all children. Challenges include containing the spread of polio in urban slums and hard to reach areas. Departments are expected to contribute resources and support social mobilization activities.

Misoprostol is effective for preventing postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in low-resource settings without skilled birth attendants when administered by community health workers during antenatal care visits or by women themselves at home births. A study in Tanzania found integrating misoprostol distribution into existing antenatal care services was feasible, safe, and effective. Over 12,000 women received misoprostol during antenatal visits, with 88% receiving and using it correctly for home births. This demonstrated misoprostol can successfully be distributed during antenatal care to protect women from PPH where skilled attendance is unavailable.

Potential adverse reactions and precautions for immunization are also outlined. The document concludes with discussions on vaccination coverage and applications of active immunization.
This document summarizes the results of a vaccination coverage survey conducted after a measles mass vaccination campaign in rural DRC in 2015. The survey found that 64% of children were vaccinated for measles based on vaccination cards, and 85% based on cards or oral reports. Reasons for non-vaccination included lack of information, absence during vaccination, and financial barriers. Higher vaccination coverage was associated with guardians over age 25, transportation access, and social mobilization promotion of the campaign. The mass vaccination campaign did not achieve 95% coverage in the region due to population mobility. Supplementary vaccination efforts are recommended when populations return from seasonal displacement.
This document discusses various aspects of immunization and vaccines. It describes different types of immunity - passive and active immunity. It explains the different types of vaccines - live vaccines, live attenuated vaccines, inactivated vaccines, toxoids, polysaccharide/polypeptide vaccines, and recombinant vaccines. It discusses vaccination programs in India including the Universal Immunization Program and Pulse Polio Immunization program. It also covers the cold chain used to transport and store vaccines, potential adverse reactions or hazards of immunization, and methods to improve vaccination coverage.
This document provides information on immunization and vaccination. It discusses active and passive immunity and how they are acquired. It describes different types of vaccines including live, attenuated, inactivated, toxoids, polysaccharide, and recombinant vaccines. It also discusses vaccine administration routes, levels of effectiveness, the history of vaccination, universal immunization programs in India, the cold chain for vaccine storage and transport, and potential hazards of immunization.
The document summarizes India's immunization programme and history. It discusses how Edward Jenner developed the smallpox vaccine in 1796, leading to smallpox eradication globally by 1977. India launched its Expanded Programme on Immunization in 1978 to provide vaccines for 6 diseases to children under 5 and pregnant women. This programme evolved into the Universal Immunization Programme in 1985 to achieve universal immunization coverage across the country. Significant milestones and achievements of India's immunization efforts are highlighted.
1. The document discusses immunization and the cold chain system for transporting and storing vaccines. It defines immunization and describes the different types including passive and active immunization.
2. The cold chain is described as the system used to transport and store vaccines within recommended temperature ranges from manufacture to point of use. Proper storage and transport using equipment like walk-in cold rooms, deep freezers, and ice-lined refrigerators is important to maintain vaccine potency.
3. The national immunization schedule in India and the vaccines provided under the Universal Immunization Program are summarized, including BCG, DPT, OPV, measles, hepatitis B, and TT vaccines aimed at preventing various diseases.
This document provides an overview of vaccination programs and implementation. It discusses vaccine-preventable diseases, types of vaccines, routes of administration, levels of effectiveness, and the history of vaccination programs in India. Key points include: immunization aims to prevent or eradicate diseases; common vaccine-preventable diseases include diphtheria, measles, and polio; vaccines can be live, attenuated, inactivated, or toxoids; and India's vaccination efforts began in the early 1800s with smallpox vaccination and expanded in the late 20th century with the Universal Immunisation Programme.
The document provides information about an under-fives clinic practical demonstration. It discusses that children under five constitute 15% of the population and suffer high mortality and morbidity rates. The majority of deaths are preventable through available interventions during this critical period of growth and development. The under-fives clinic aims to provide comprehensive healthcare to young children, including preventive, curative, and educational services through trained nurses to make services more economical and available to more children. The clinic focuses on illness care, growth monitoring, immunizations, family planning, and health education. It then provides details on vaccination programs, the cold chain used to safely store and transport vaccines, and the importance of maintaining the vaccine cold chain.
The cold chain is the system used to transport and store vaccines at the proper temperature from manufacture to use. It is critical to maintain vaccine potency and ensure effective immunization programs. Vaccines must be kept within strict temperature ranges, typically between 2-8°C, and protected from light, to maintain their biological properties and effectiveness. Various equipment like refrigerators, freezers and transport containers with ice packs are used at different levels of the healthcare system to properly handle vaccines throughout the cold chain.
Vaccines provide immunity to diseases and contain agents that stimulate the immune system. There are several types including whole organism vaccines using killed or attenuated microbes, purified components like toxoids and polysaccharides, recombinant and DNA vaccines. Vaccines work by inducing both antibody and cellular immune responses. While effective, they also carry small risks like adverse reactions that researchers continue working to understand and improve safety.
This document provides information about India's National Immunization Programme (UIP). It discusses the targeted vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs), the history and objectives of the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) and Universal Immunization Programme (UIP). It outlines the national immunization schedule, components of UIP including vaccination of pregnant women and children, and strategies to achieve coverage goals. Coverage levels from surveys are presented. The document also discusses vaccine administration techniques for different vaccines.
The document discusses Pakistan's Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI). It provides details on the diseases targeted by EPI, its history in Pakistan, goals and challenges. Key reasons for EPI's limited success include inadequate access to services, lack of funds, and competing priorities like the polio eradication initiative. Improving coverage will require strengthening access, increasing awareness, and coordinating efforts across provinces.
The document summarizes India's universal immunization programme, which was launched in 1978 to reduce mortality and morbidity from six vaccine-preventable childhood diseases. It was expanded globally in 1985 and renamed the Universal Immunization Programme in India. The program aims to fully immunize pregnant women and children against tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, polio, and measles. Over time, vaccines for hepatitis B, Japanese encephalitis, measles second dose, and pentavalent were introduced. Major initiatives like Pulse Polio and Mission Indradhanush helped boost immunization rates. India has achieved polio eradication and significantly reduced cases of other vaccine-preventable diseases.

This document summarizes India's Pulse Polio Program for eradicating polio. It provides background on poliovirus and describes how India launched its national immunization program in 1995. The program aims to vaccinate all children under age 5 during national immunization days. Key strategies include maintaining high routine vaccination coverage, surveillance, and border vaccination. India was certified polio-free in 2014. To maintain this status, the government conducts annual immunization rounds and monitors for any virus importation or circulation. It will also introduce an injectable polio vaccine alongside the oral vaccine in late 2015 as part of global polio eradication efforts.
The document summarizes India's Pulse Polio Programme, which aims to eradicate polio through mass immunization efforts. It provides details on the history and strategies of the program, including launching nationwide in 1995 with a goal of vaccinating all children under 5. Key tactics discussed include using oral polio vaccine during supplemental immunization activities, maintaining high vaccination rates, monitoring vaccine effectiveness, and adapting strategies in response to outbreaks. The last reported case of wild poliovirus in India was in 2011, allowing it to be declared polio-free by the WHO in 2014.
The document provides information on Nepal's national immunization program, including its goals, objectives, strategies, and key activities. The program aims to reduce child mortality from vaccine-preventable diseases by achieving and maintaining at least 90% vaccine coverage nationwide. It coordinates immunization services delivered through government health facilities, private providers, and NGOs. Milestones include introducing new vaccines and achieving the eradication of polio and elimination of maternal and neonatal tetanus.
The document summarizes India's Universal Immunization Programme (UIP), which was launched in 1985 to provide several vaccines free of cost to infants, children, and pregnant women. The UIP aims to rapidly increase immunization coverage, improve quality, establish reliable cold chain storage, and monitor performance. It provides 12 vaccines nationally against 9 diseases and sub-nationally against 3 additional diseases. Major milestones include eliminating polio in 2014 and maternal/neonatal tetanus in 2015. Recent initiatives to strengthen the program include Mission Indradhanush and Intensified Mission Indradhanush campaigns.
The team proposes a One Health solution to reduce malaria in Nigeria using natural predator propagation, vaccine distribution by drones, improved storage, biotechnology to target the parasite at all stages, and education programs. Natural predators of mosquitoes like fish and insects will be bred in new centers. Drones will deliver vaccines to remote areas to improve access, while storage facilities get refrigeration. A new drug targets malaria itself rather than just the vector. Online and community education will increase awareness of prevention and treatment. Funding will come from WHO, donations, and advertising.

Understanding the Growing Importance of Immunization in India
India has made great strides in immunization over the past few decades, eliminating smallpox and polio and reducing deaths from other vaccine-preventable diseases. However, vaccine coverage remains around 53.5% and new vaccines are slow to be introduced nationally. Factors like sustainable financing, local evidence generation, decision-making processes, and challenges in manufacturing capacity and multi-stakeholder coordination will impact further progress in immunization in India.

Global and National Achievement in Evidence Based Public Health: Vaccine Preventable Diseases
The document summarizes global and national achievements in vaccine preventable diseases. Key points include:
- Vaccinations prevented an estimated 14.4 million COVID-19 deaths globally between December 2020 to December 2021, representing a 63% reduction. Coverage targets were not met in many low-income countries.
- Nepal has achieved elimination of smallpox, maternal and neonatal tetanus, polio, and control of rubella, hepatitis B, and Japanese encephalitis through vaccination.
- Surveillance data from Nepal has supported introduction of new vaccines like Hib and pneumococcal. Continued efforts are needed
The document discusses India's public health programs and policies around reproductive and child health (RCH). After independence, India reorganized its health system to provide universal access through national health programs targeting issues like communicable diseases, environmental sanitation, population growth, and nutrition. Key RCH programs discussed include reproductive and child health, newborn and child health, integrated management of neonatal and childhood illnesses, diarrhea prevention and treatment, immunization, breastfeeding promotion, and adolescent health.
This document discusses India's pulse polio immunization program and efforts to eradicate polio. It provides background on polio, outlines the objectives of the pulse polio program launched in 1995, and summarizes progress made in reducing polio cases. Key strategies used include annual national immunization days that vaccinate over 170 million children each year, maintaining high routine immunization coverage, surveillance programs, and maintaining community immunity through continued immunization efforts. The document notes India was declared polio-free in 2014 and outlines ongoing measures to prevent new cases and maintain this status, including border vaccination efforts and introducing an injectable polio vaccine.
Child vaccination program in India is carried under the Universal Immunization Programme. It consists of various vaccines to be administered at various ages. Some of the popular vaccines are BCG, Oral Polio Vaccine, Measles Vaccine, DPT Vaccine, Tetanus Toxoid, Hepatatis B, etc.

This document discusses the National Immunization Program (NIP) and Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) in the Philippines. The EPI was established in 1976 to provide vaccines for infants/children and mothers against six diseases: tuberculosis, polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and measles. The program aims to reduce morbidity and mortality from these and other vaccine-preventable diseases. It outlines the various vaccines recommended, including BCG, hepatitis B, pentavalent, polio, PCV, and MMR vaccines. It also describes strategies like routine immunization, supplemental immunization activities, and disease surveillance to control and eliminate targeted diseases.
