Module 2 National Immunization Program (Npi) - Mihp

The National Immunization Program (NIP), formerly known as the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI), was established in 1976 to provide routine childhood vaccines. The initial EPI included vaccines for tuberculosis, polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and measles. The NIP now covers additional diseases like hepatitis B, pneumonia, Hib, and provides guidance on proper vaccination techniques and schedules. Skills covered in Module 2 include reconstituting the BCG vaccine and administering various routine childhood vaccines through appropriate routes like oral, intramuscular, and subcutaneous.

MODULE 2

National Immunization Program


(NIP)
National Immunization Program (NIP)

 The National Immunization Program or formerly known as Expanded


Program on Immunization (EPI) was established in 1976 to ensure that
infants/children and mothers have access to routinely recommended
infant/childhood vaccines.

 Six vaccine-preventable diseases were initially included in the EPI:


tuberculosis, poliomyelitis, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and measles. In
1986, 21.3% “fully immunized” children less than fourteen months of
age based on the EPI Comprehensive Program review. (DOH website.
Preventable diseases:

 1. Tuberculosis  7. Hepatitis B
 2. Diptheria  8. Pneumonia
 3. Pertussis  9. Haemophilus Influenza B
 4. Tetanus (Hib)
 5. Poliomyelitis
 6. Measles
IMMUNIZATION
 It is the process by which vaccines are introduced into the
body before infection sets in.
 Vaccines are administered to induce immunity thereby
causing the recipient’s immune system to react to the
vaccine that produces antibodies to fight infection.
 Vaccination promote health and protect children from
disease-causing agents.
 Infants and newborn need to be vaccinated at an early age
since they belong to vulnerable group.
Important Reminders:

 Moderate fever, malnutrition, mild respiratory infection,


cough, diarrhea, and vomiting are not contraindications to
vaccination.
 Side effects: fever, pain at injection site
 Giving the doses of a vaccine at less than the
recommended 4 week interval may lessen the antibody
response. Lengthening the interval between doses of
vaccines leads to higher antibody levels.
