PROGRAM ON
IMMUNIZATION

Rationale:
- 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 moths of age based on the EPI
Comprehensive program.
Pentavalent Diphtheria, Tetanus, Hep. 6 weeks Intramuscular (IM) 0.5 mL 3°C - 8°C
Vaccine B, Pertussis, Pneumonia, 10 weeks (35°F – 46°F)
Meningitis 14 weeks
Oral Polio Vaccine Old (Trivalent): Poliomyelitis 6 weeks Intramuscular (IM) 0.5 mL 3°C - 8°C
(OPV) Type 1, 2, 3 10 weeks (35°F – 46°F)
New (Bivalent): Poliomyelitis 14 weeks
Type 1 and 3
Inactivated Polio Poliomyelitis Type 1, 2, 3 14 weeks Intramuscular (IM) 0.5 mL 3°C - 8°C
Vaccine (IPV) (35°F – 46°F)
Measles, Mumps, Measles, Mumps and 9 months Subcutaneous 0.5 mL -50°C - -15°C
Rubella (MMR) Rubella 1 year old (-58°F – 5°F)
COLD CHAIN
MANAGEMENT

Cold Chain Management:
Temperature Monitoring
- store frozen vaccines (Varicella, MMR and Zoster) in a
freezer between -58°F and 5°F (-50°C and -15°C)
- store all routinely recommended vaccines in a refrigerator
between 35°F and 46°F (2°C and 8°C)
- desired average refrigerator vaccine storage is 40°F (5°C)
Assessment
- midwives assess the number of children in her catchment
area for recording and reporting
- assessment enables the midwife to ensure that all infants
that are to be vaccinated will be given the right vaccine at the
right time
Implementation
- midwives carry out the vaccines from the RHU to BHS thru
cold chain management and immunized the infants as to the
right vaccine
Evaluation
- midwives evaluate the progress of the Immunization in their
catchment area with the use of TCL
- this enables the midwife to identify the infants who are not
vaccinated during his/her schedule
