India's Immunization Journey

The national immunization program in India aims to protect people from infectious diseases through vaccination. It was launched in 1978 and expanded in 1985 as the Universal Immunization Programme to provide vaccines free of cost across the country. The goals are to immunize pregnant women against tetanus and children in their first year of life against six vaccine-preventable diseases. Vaccines are administered according to a fixed schedule through government health facilities and community centers to achieve full coverage of the population. A cold chain system is used to store and transport the vaccines at controlled temperatures.
