Vaccine Coverage and Hesitancy Child Nutrition and Water Access Global Maternal and Child Health

Abstract

Infectious diseases are major cause of morbidity and mortality in children. One of the most cost effective and easy method for child survival is immunization. In May 1974 the World Health Organization (WHO) officially launched a global immunization programme known as Expanded Programme of Immunization (EPI) to protect all the children of the world against six vaccine preventable diseases by the year 2000. EPI launched in India in January 1978 was redesignated as Universal Immunization Programme (UIP) since 1985. UIP has been able to avert many deaths because of the six childhood diseases. Present study is an attempt to evaluate immunization coverage of children as well as mothers under UIP in urban slums of Jamnagar city (Gujarat). (excerpt)
