Epi schedule in Pakistan. EPI stands for Expanded program on Immunization • it includes the vaccination of following diseases • 1. Tuberculosis ( T.B) • 2. Hepatitis B • 3. Diphtheria • 4. Pertussis • 5. Meningitis • 6. Pneumonia • 7. Polio • 8. Rota virus • 9. H. influenza • 10. Measles • The Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) was launched in Pakistan in 1978 to protect children by immunizing them against childhood tuberculosis, poliomyelitis, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus and measles. Later, with the support of development partners, a number of new vaccines e.g. hepatitis B, haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and pneumococcal vaccine (PCV10) were introduced in 2002, 2009 and 2012, and inactivated polio vaccine in 2015, respectively. • It also aims to protect mothers and newborn against tetanus. Immunizing children with these vaccines may avert up to 17% of childhood mortality in Pakistan and thus help contribute towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal, on reducing child morbidity and mortality. The programme also plans to introduce rotavirus vaccine in 2017, which will prevent one cause of fatal diarrhoea due to rotavirus. • بچوں کے حفاظتی ٹیکوں کا شیڈول • #health • #healthcare • #healthy • #healthylifestyle • #who • #vaccine • #vaccination • #vaccinelagao
