Routine immunisation programs in India, initiated in 1978, have reduced vaccine-preventable diseases. Recent government initiatives aim to strengthen these programs amidst concerns about disease re-emergence.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Routine immunisation programs, starting with the Expanded Programme on Immunisation (1978) and later renamed the Universal Immunisation Programme (1985), have historically reduced vaccine-preventable diseases in India.
  • The re-emergence of certain vaccine-preventable diseases presents a significant public health concern.
  • The Indian government has implemented new multiyear plans and initiatives under the National Rural Health Mission to bolster routine immunisation efforts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of strengthening routine immunisation programs in India.
  • To underscore the role of general practitioners in the success of the Universal Immunisation Programme.
  • To emphasize the critical link between routine immunisation and polio eradication efforts.
