Abstract
The Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) was started in January 1978 to reduce the incidence of diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, poliomyelitis, measles, tuberculosis and typhoid fever against which effective vaccines are available. The immunization services are to be provided as regular health services in maternal and childhealth centres, dispensaries and hospitals in the urban areas and primary health centres (PHC) and sub-centres in the rural areas. It is planned to make available these services to all eligible children and pregnant women by 1990.
