Concept & importance of vaccination Immunization: Is The Process By Which Vaccines Are Introduced Into The Body Before Infection Sets In. Vaccines Are Administered To Intracules Immunity There By Causing The Recipient-immune System To React To The Vaccine That Produces Antibodies To Fight Against Infection. Vaccination Promote Health & Protect Children From Diseases Causing Agents. Infants And New Born Need To Be Vaccinated At An Early Age Since The Belong To Vulnerable Age Group.
Reasons WHY immunization schedule needs to be followed Ideal Timing Prevent Complication Early Protection Best Protection Long Term Protection Prevent Spreading Illness

Cold chain under epi Refers To The Maintenance At The Vaccines Product Quality From The Time. It Is Manufactured Until The Point Of Administration By Ensuring That Vaccines Are Stored And Transported Within WHO Recommended Temperature Ranges. This Is A Very Important Component Of An Immunization Programme Since All Vaccines Lose Potency Over Time, Especially If Exposed To Heat, And In Addition Some Also Lose Their Potency When Frozen.
Major elements of cold chain system Personnel Equipment Procedures .
Role of nurse in improving the delivery of immunization in the community Actively Master List Infants Eligible For Vaccination In The Community. Immunize Infants Following The Recommended Immunization Schedule, Route Of Administration, Correct Dosage & Following The Proper Cold Chain Storage Of Vaccines. Observe Aseptic Technique On Immunization & Use One Syringe & One Needle Per Child. This Reduces Blood-borne Diseases & Promote Safety Injection Practices. Dispose Used Syringes & Needles Properly. Inform, Educate & Communicate With Patients.
Conduct Health Visits In The Community To Assess Other Health Needs Of The Community. Identify Cases Of Epi Target Diseases Per Standard Case Definition. Manage Vaccines Properly By Following The Recommended Storage Of Vaccines. Record The Children Given With Vaccinated In Target List. Submit Report & Record Of Children Vaccinated, Cases & Death On Epi Diseases.
