PROGRAMME AND
PREVENTIVE IMMUNIZATION
PRESENTED BY:
KANCHAN
MSC 1ST YR
Immunization, or immunisation, is the process by
which an individual's immune system becomes
fortified against an agent (known as the immunogen)
Immunization is the process whereby a person is
made immune or resistant to an infectious disease,
typically by the administration of a vaccine. Vaccines
stimulate the body’s own immune system to protect
the person against subsequent infection or disease.
Vaccine Types
Live-attenuated vaccines
Inactivated vaccines
Subunit, recombinant, polysaccharide, and conjugate
vaccines
Toxoid vaccines
Live vaccines use a weakened (or attenuated) form of
the germ that causes a disease.
Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR combined vaccine)
Rotavirus
Smallpox
Chickenpox
Yellow fever
Inactivated vaccines use the killed version of the
germ that causes a disease.
Hepatitis A
Flu
Polio
Rabies
Subunit, recombinant, polysaccharide, and conjugate
vaccines use specific pieces of the germ — like its protein,
sugar, or capsid (a casing around the germ).
Because these vaccines use only specific pieces of the germ, they
give a very strong immune response that’s targeted to key parts
of the germ. They can also be used on almost everyone who
needs them, including people with weakened immune systems
and long-term health problems.
Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b) disease
Hepatitis B
HPV (Human papillomavirus)
Whooping cough (part of the DTaP combined vaccine)
Pneumococcal disease
Meningococcal disease
Shingles
Toxoid vaccines use a toxin (harmful product)
made by the germ that causes a disease. They
create immunity to the parts of the germ that
cause a disease instead of the germ itself. That
means the immune response is targeted to the
toxin instead of the whole germ.
Diphtheria
Tetanus
UNIVERSAL IMMUNIZATION
PROGRAMME
Launched on 19 Nov
1985 in remembrance
of then Prime Minister,
Indira Gandhi.
MILESTONES IN THE IMMUNIZATION PROGRAM
1978 : Expanded Program of Immunization (EPI) introduced
after smallpox eradication:
BCG, DPT, OPV, Typhoid.
Limited to mainly urban areas
Under the UIP, all vaccines are given free of cost to the
beneficiaries as per the National Immunization Schedule.
Objectives
Regular quality immunisation sessions are planned and held
Adequate trained staff are empowered to provide quality
immunisation services
Annually upgrade cold chain inventory according to levels of
network
Implementation of safe injection practices & waste disposal
Strategies
Strengthening of supervision
Objectives
Polio eradication certification by 2007
Elimination of neonatal tetanus by 2009
Reduction in measles mortality by 2/3 compared to 2000
estimates by 2010
Achieve and maintain 70% coverage of 2 doses of vitamin
A to children < 3 yrs
Strategies
Objectives
Adequate & reliable financial resources at national,
state and local levels for the UIP to achieve goals &
objectives
Political commitment for adequate annual funding at all
levels
Strategies
Strengthening national financial planning
Building partnership
Goal 4
Sustain demand & reduce social barriers to access
immunisation services
Objectives
Widespread support by families and communities
All eligible children & pregnant woman are immunised
High level political and administrative support
Strategies
Coverage with print, electronic media,etc.
Improve interpersonal communication
Goal 5
Accelerated introduction of licensed new and under utilized vaccines
against diseases with significant mortality and morbidity in India
Objectives
Institutional mechanisms in place to adequately obtain, review
and utilize information for deciding on introduction of new and
under utilized vaccines
Review need for MMR or MR vaccines in India’s immunisation
program
Phased introduction of Hepatitis B
Strategies
Improve coordination between MoHFW, research institutes, NRI,
development partners, surveillance & training.
Goal 6
To monitor & use accurate, complete & timely data on
vaccine preventable disease , AEFIs (Adverse event following
immunization), antigen coverage & drop out rates by district
Objectives
Institutional surveillance for VPDs & early detection of
any outbreaks
Strengthened vaccine quality and injection safety by
developing monitoring system for reporting & responding
to adverse events following immunisation by 2009
Effective, efficient complete and timely immunisation,
local recording and area monitoring system by 2009
CHANNEL s OF SERVICE PROVISION
Immunization services are provided through the
existing Health Care Delivery System. (MCH centers,
PHC, CHCs, Hospitals, Dispensaries).
Additional national efforts
Launch of immunization strengthening project (ISP)
Urban measles campaign
Border district cluster strategy (BDCS)
Celebration of immunization weeks
The national technical advisory group on immunisation
(NTAGI) was formed in 2001 .
The adverse events following immunisation reporting has
been made a part of UIP since 1985.
• 1st documented AEFI report & guidelines published in 1988
• Guidelines revised and widely disseminated in 2005-06
To strengthen post marketing surveillance for vaccines in India
• Manufacturers are required to submit periodic safety update
reports (PSURs) for all newly licensed vaccines to Central Drug
Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) every 6 months in 1st
two years and then Annually for next 2 years
India adopted policy of use of auto disable syringes only for
UIP in country starting in 2005-06
Objectives
To reducing mortality, morbidity resulting from
VPDs.
To achieve a self sufficiency in vaccine production.
Target :- at least 80% coverage in infancy.
As vaccination was offered through major hospitals &
largely restricted to urban areas so coverage remained low.
AGE VACCINES
TT-1 Early in pregnancy
TT-2 4 weeks after TT-1
TT booster if received 2 TT doses in
last pregnancy within last 3
years
Vaccines added
On 2nd July GOI introduced 4 new vaccines on
recommendations given by NTAGI
ROTAVIRUS
INJECTABLE POLIO
RUBELLA
JAPANEASE ENCEPHALITIS
1) If a dose is missed……..
What next ??
3) Immunisation in preterm infants
Intra-dermal
0.5 ml
Intramuscular
2 drops
Oral
0.5 ml
Intra-muscular
Sub-cutaneous
Why?
Where?
Mission Indradhanush is a health mission of the
government of India. It was launched by
Union Health Minister J. P. Nadda on 25 December 2014.] The
scheme this seeks to drive towards 90% full immunization
coverage of India and sustain the same by year 2020.
Vaccination is being provided against eight vaccine-
preventable diseases nationally, i.e. Diphtheria,
Whooping Cough, Tetanus, Polio, Measles, severe form of
Childhood Tuberculosis and Hepatitis B and meningitis &
pneumonia caused by Haemophilus influenza type B; and
against Rotavirus Diarrhea and Japanese Encephalitis in
selected states and districts respectively.
201 districts will be covered in the first phase. Of
these, 82 districts are in the states of Uttar Pradesh,
Bihar, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh. The 201
districts selected have nearly 50% of all unvaccinated
children in the country.The mission follow planning
and administration like PPI (Pulse Polio
Immunization)
