Insights

More than 40% of Chandigarh

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Immunization
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Newer vaccines offer protection against serious childhood diseases.
  • Understanding vaccine uptake is crucial for public health strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the utilization rates of newer vaccines among children under five in Chandigarh.
  • To identify vaccination patterns and service providers.

Main Methods:

  • A house-to-house survey was conducted in Sector 44, Chandigarh.
  • Data collection occurred between January 2004 and September 2005.
  • The study included 1031 children under five years of age.

Main Results:

  • Over 40% of children received newer vaccines.
  • Hepatitis B vaccine showed the highest coverage (44.7%), followed by Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) (27.8%) and Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) (27.6%).
  • The private sector administered immunizations to over 50% of the children.

Conclusions:

  • Newer vaccines are accessible and utilized by the population in Chandigarh.
  • The private healthcare sector plays a significant role in vaccine delivery.

Overview
Vaccines01:21

Vaccines

Vaccines are among the most effective tools in preventive medicine, designed to prepare the immune system to recognize and combat infectious agents. By introducing antigens—substances that the immune system identifies as foreign—vaccines stimulate an adaptive immune response that leads to immunological memory. This immunological memory enables the body to mount a faster and more effective response upon future exposures to the actual pathogen.Vaccines can be categorized based on the type of...

Cancer Vaccines

Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...
Vaccine Production01:23

Vaccine Production

Vaccine production involves a sequence of upstream and downstream processes to generate a safe and effective immunological product. It begins with cultivating microorganisms, such as viruses or bacteria, to obtain antigenic material. For viral vaccines, mammalian host cells are grown in bioreactors and subsequently infected with the target virus. The virus replicates within the host cells, which are lysed to release viral particles. This lysate is then clarified through filtration or...

Microorganisms in Medicine and Therapeutics

Microorganisms play a fundamental role in vaccine development, gene therapy, and therapeutic production. Their biological properties are harnessed to advance medicine and public health. Beyond immunization, microorganisms contribute to gut health, antibiotic synthesis, and genetic disease treatment.Live Attenuated and Inactivated VaccinesLive attenuated vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, utilize weakened forms of pathogens to closely resemble natural infections.
