Abstract:
Universal immunization program in India is one of the key cost-effective interventions cited in modern days. However the newer strategies are adopted, this program continues to reach and target most vaccine preventable diseases in below five years children at the community level. Many new initiatives have been started in immunization since the inception of National Health Mission. Open Vial Policy is one of them in the recent years. This policy takes care to reduce open vial wastage as documented in various studies. OVW can be reduced with appropriate dose size of vials which has led to introduction of multi-dose vials. This paper focuses on the details of the open vial policy in India along with enabling and disabling factors that can make this policy useful both for reduction of open vial wastage and providing quality immunization services at the community level.
