Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to introduce the immunization. This chapter is divided into four parts, which include cold chain failure, management of adverse effects following immunization, missed opportunity for immunization and its management, and immunization in high-risk groups. Cold chain is defined as the system of transporting, storing and distributing vaccine in a potent state at the recommended temperature from the point of manufacture to the point of use. Cold chain failure occurs when vaccines are exposed to the temperature outside the recommended range of 2–8°C. An adverse event following immunization (AEFI) is any untoward medical occurrence which follows immunization and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the usage of the vaccine. “Missed opportunity” for immunization (MOI) is defined as missing the benefit of getting immunization by the partially or nonimmunized child, during a visit to a health facility for checkup/illness, when there is no absolute contraindication for that particular immunization as per the national policy.
