Immunization is an established, cost-effective, preventive intervention to improve child survival. To provide protection against vaccine preventable diseases, all countries in the world have an immunization program that offers selected vaccines to the eligible beneficiaries. In India, Expanded Program of Immunization was started in 1978, and then Universal Immunization Program was launched in 1985 with six antigens. This article describes the experience with institutionalization of four state-specific vaccines by Delhi in its immunization schedule to enlarge the ambit of immunization services. It attempts to highlight the state's perspective in terms of the implementation policy, operational strategy adopted and evolution of immunization program in the state over 16 years. |
