6. 1978 Expanded Programme of immunization (EPI).
Limited reach - mostly urban
1985 Universal Immunization Programme (UIP).
For reduction of mortality and morbidity due to 6
VPD’s.
Indigenous vaccine production capacity enhanced
Cold chain established
Phased implementation - all districts covered by
89-90
Monitoring and evaluation system implemented
7. Implementation of National Immunization
Programme
District is treated as administrative unit – 593
Primary Health Centers are the last vaccine
storage points - 23,109
Services are provided through 142,655 sub
centers to the population residing in about
638,588 villages
Target for immunization is to cover infant
population of over 25 million and around 27
million pregnant women
8. Immunization services are being provided
through the existing health care delivery system.
There is no separate staff required for the
programme.
Pulse Polio Immunization Programme was
launched in the country in the year 1995. Under
this, under 5’s are given additional oral polio
drops in December and January every year on
fixed days.
As a result, there has been a significant decline
in the incidence of poliomyelitis.
12. Immuno-biological substances designed to
produce specific protection against a given
disease.
*Nowadays vaccines are of sub-unit and recombinant types.
Administration: SUBCUTANEOUS & INTR AMUSCULAR
13. Live Vaccines—BCG, MMR
*Not for immunologically challenged.
Inactivated(Killed)—iPV, Hepatitis B
Toxoids—Diphtheria, Tetanus
14. Immunoglobulins are for passive immunization!
5 Major classes include- IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, IgE.
TYPES:
Normal Human Immunoglobulin
Specific Human Immunoglobulin
*These are used to replace antibodies in
immunodeficient patients.
Administration:
INTRAMUSCULAR & INTRAVENOUS

26. Concerns
Large birth cohort - 25 million births every year
Declining coverage in some major states
• An average of 14.4 % children receiving BCG do not receive
measles vaccine
Poor immunization data quality
• Discrepancies between reported and surveyed data
Varied program management and supervision at all levels
Unsafe injection practices and waste disposal:
Significant percentage of injections used in the immunization
sector are unsafe
Low priority on medical waste disposal
27. The virus is also present in body fluids and
excretions such as saliva, breast milk, semen,
vaginal secretions, urine, bile and feces.
Semen and Saliva are known culprits for
transmission.
28. Hepatitis Human Immunoglobulin

Newborns of mothers 0.05 ml/kg body wt Recommended For Prevention

Sexual contacts of acute 0.05 ml/kg body wt Optional for Prevention
hepatitis B patients Repeat after a month
Immunization against Hepatitis has become an interesting addition to the
UIP in India.
32. i. Test for Sensitivity Reaction
ii. Adrenaline (1:1000 solution) to be kept ready.
iii.Properly sterilize equipment and apparatus.
iv. Measles and BCG vaccines to be reconstituted
only with diluents supplied by manufacturer.
v. Reconstituted Vaccines must NEVER be
retained for subsequent use.
vi. Don’t store anything else in the refrigerator
other than vaccines.
