Vaccines provide active immunity to the body by stimulating the immune system which produces antibodies against disease producing organisms vaccines can be divided into two types:-
A.Live Attenuated
B. killed formulations
A. Live Attenuated :- the live attenuated vaccines are from disease causing viruses or bacteria that have been weakened under laboratory conditions. They replicate in a vaccinated individual but because they are weak they cause either no disease or only a mild form of the disease. Examples are Bcg, Measles and the oral polio vaccine.
B. Inactivated or killed vaccines:- on the other hand are produced by viruses or bacteria and then inactivated with heat or chemicals.They cannot grow in a vaccinated individual and so cannot cause the disease, They are less effective then Live vaccines, requiring multiple doses to full protection as well as booster doses to maintain immunity.
Examples:-
* whole cell :- Pertussis
* Fractional protein based :- diphtheria toxoid , tetanus toxoid.
*Recombinant Hepatitis B
MILESTONES IN THE IMMUNIZATION PROGRAM IN INDIA
1. 1978:- * Expanded program of immunization (EPI)
* BCG,DPT,OPV,TYPHOID.
* Limited to maintain urban areas.
2.1985:-* Universal Immunization program (UPI) Introduced.
* Expanded to entire country.
* Measles added.
* close monitoring of < 1 year group .
