Basic Nip Chapter 1 Intro To Nip

The National Immunization Program (NIP) in the Philippines aims to provide immunity against 14 vaccine-preventable diseases. It was established in 1976 and provides vaccines throughout different life stages. While it has led to significant declines in mortality and morbidity from vaccine-preventable diseases, full immunization coverage among children has been declining in recent years and was only at 52% in 2021. The NIP faces ongoing challenges including improving program management, demand generation, data management, logistics and supply chain, surveillance, and human resources.
