Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) was established in 1976 to ensure that
infants/children and mothers have access to routinely recommended infant/childhood
vaccines. Six vaccine-preventable diseases were initially included in the EPI: tuberculosis,
poliomyelitis, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and measles. In 1986, 21.3% “fully immunized”
children less than fourteen months of age based on the EPI Comprehensive Program review.
In 2002, WHO estimated that 1.4 million of deaths among children under 5 years due to
diseases that could have been prevented by routine vaccination. This represents 14% of
global total mortality in children under 5 years of age.
Republic Act No. 10152“MandatoryInfants and Children Health Immunization Act of
2011Signed by President Benigno Aquino III in July 26, 2010. The mandatory includes basic
immunization for children under 5 including other types that will be determined by the
Secretary of Health.
1.Polio Eradication:
The Philippines has sustained its polio-free status since October 2000
Declining Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) third dose coverage since 2008 from 91% to 83%.
A least 95% OPV3 coverage need to be achieved to produce the required herd
immunity for protection.
Poliovirus vaccine live oral (OPV) is an active immunizing agent used to prevent
poliomyelitis (polio). It works by causing your body to produce its own protection
(antibodies) against the virus that causes polio.
2.Measles Elimination
Conducted 4 rounds of mass measles campaign: 1998, 2004, 2007 and 2011.
Implemented the 2-dose measles-containing vaccine (MCV) in 2009
MCV1 (monovalent measles) at 9-11 months old
MCV2 (MMR) at 12-15 months old.
Implemented and strengthened the laboratory surveillance for confirmation of
measles. Blood samples are withdrawn from all measles suspect to confirm the case
as measles infection.
A supplemental immunization campaign for measles and rubella (German measles)
was done in 2011. This was dubbed as “Iligtas sa Tigdas ang Pinas” 15.6 million
(84%) out of the 18.5 million children ages 9 months to 8 years old were given 1 dose
of the measles-rubella (MR) vaccine between April and June 2011.
Rapid coverage assessment (RCA) were conducted in selected areas to validate
immunization coverage, assess high quality and that there are NO missed child in
every barangay. Overall RCA results showed that 70,594 (97.6%) out of 72,353 9
months to 8 years old living in the randomly selected barangays were vaccinated.
There are 3,494 barangays with a population of 1000 and above that were randomly
