Mrs. Dhiraj Rani

Abstract :

 Immunization is a way to trigger immune system and prevent serious, life–threatening diseases. In 1974, the WHO launched its “Expanded program of immunization” (EPI) against six most common preventable diseases (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, tuberculosis and measles. Emerging and re–emerging infectious diseases can be controlled only by provision of potent vaccine from the place of manufacturing to actual vaccination site only through the maintenance of “Cold Chain” Knowledge of a vaccine’s stability especially of the rate of loss of characteristics that make it safe and effective, with time of exposure to temperatures outside of the 2–8°C range, can help immunization managers better run the immunization programme effectively
