General Principles
• Itis SAFE and
IMMUNOLOGICALLY
EFFECTIVE to administer all
EPI vaccines on the same day at
different sites of the body
21
22.
General Principles
• Onlythe diluent supplied by the
manufacturer should be used to
reconstitute a freeze-dried
vaccine.
22
23.
General Principles
• Thediluents may be stored
outside the cold chain BUT
• Keep diluents for at least 24
hours before use in ILR to
ensure that vaccines & diluents
are at same temperature when
being reconstituted.

General Principles
• Thediluents may be stored
outside the cold chain BUT
• Keep diluents for at least 24
hours before use in ILR to
ensure that vaccines & diluents
are at same temperature when
being reconstituted.

General Principles
• Conditionedice packs
- Keep them out of freezer to allow
them to “sweat” and cracking
sound of water would be heard on
shaking the ice packs.
- This will protect “T” series
vaccines from getting frozen.
26

General Principles
• Donot use saline water or add
salt for filling.
• Never use day carrier containing
two (2) ice packs.

General Principles
• Acombination of FIFO & FEFO
vaccine system is practiced to
assure that all vaccines are
utilized before its expiry date.

General Principles
Lapsed VaccinationSchedule
• Health workers are encouraged
to administer vaccines as close to
the recommended intervals as
possible.

General Principles
Lapsed VaccinationSchedule
• If the vaccination schedule is
interrupted, it is not necessary to
restart. Instead, the schedule
should be resumed using minimal
intervals between doses to catch
up as quickly as possible.
30
31.
General Principles
• Ifrecords cannot be located,
after everything was done, the
child should be considered
susceptible and should be started
on the age-appropriate
vaccination schedule.

General Principles
• Administrationat recommended
ages and in accordance with
recommended intervals between
doses of multi-dose antigens
provide optimal protection.
Spacing of multiple doses of

General Principles
• Dosesadministered TOO CLOSE
together or at TOO YOUNG can
lead to a sub-optimal immune
response.
Spacing of multiple doses of the
same antigen
34
35.
General Principles
• However,administering a dose
few days earlier the minimum
interval or age is unlikely to have
a substantially negative effect on
the immune response to that
dose.
Spacing of multiple doses of
the same antigen
35
36.
General Principles
• Dosesof any vaccine
administered >5 days earlier than
the minimum interval or age
should not be counted as valid
doses and should be repeated as
age appropriate.
