Study Notes

Presidential Decree 996: Establishes compulsory immunization for children under 8 years.
Republic Act 7846: Mandates Hepatitis B immunization.

Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI)

Introduced the MICHI Act, which updates immunization practices and compliance.

Old Vaccines Updates

Vaccines included in the old EPI:
- BCG
- Rotavirus
- Hepatitis B
- Pentavalent
- DPT (Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus)
- MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)
- OPV (Oral Polio Vaccine)
- Measles

Specific Goals of EPI

Immunize all children against vaccine-preventable diseases.
Maintain polio-free status in the Philippines.
Eliminate measles infections.
Eradicate maternal and neonatal tetanus.
Control diphtheria, pertussis, hepatitis B, and German measles.
Prevent extra pulmonary tuberculosis in children.

Routine Immunization Schedule for Infants

BCG: Administer at birth, 1 dose of 0.1 mL intradermal.
Hepatitis B: Administer at birth, 1 dose of 0.5 mL intramuscular.
Pentavalent Vaccine: Start at 6 weeks, 3 doses of 0.5 mL intramuscular given at 6 weeks, 10 weeks, and 14 weeks.
Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV13): Start at 6 weeks, 4 doses of 0.5 mL intramuscular at 6 weeks, 10 weeks, 14 weeks, and 12-15 months (booster).
Oral Polio Vaccine: Start at 6 weeks, 3 doses administered orally with a 4-week interval.
Inactivated Polio Vaccine: Administer at 14 weeks, 1 dose of 0.5 mL intramuscular.
Rotavirus Vaccine: Start at 6 weeks, 2 doses given orally with a 4-week interval.
Measles: Administer at 9 months, 1 dose of 0.5 mL subcutaneously.
MMR: Administer between 12 to 15 months, 1 dose of 0.5 mL intramuscular.

Critical Points of EPI

Diluent Addition: BCG requires 2-3 mL of diluent added using a 5 mL syringe; measles requires 5 mL of diluent using a 10 mL syringe.
Contraindications for Vaccination:
- HIV/AIDS
- Active neurological disorders
- Recent convulsions
- Chemotherapy or glucocorticoid therapy
- Fever above 38.5°C
Conditions Not Generally Contraindicating Vaccination:
- Mild respiratory problems
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Malnutrition
Simultaneous Vaccination: Different vaccines can be administered at the same time but at different sites. ROTA and OPV can be given simultaneously.

Vaccine Characteristics

BCG: Live attenuated bacteria.
Hepatitis B: RNA recombinant.
DPT: Combination of weakened toxins and inactivated bacteria.
OPV, Rota, Measles, MMR: Live attenuated vaccines.
