Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI)

The Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) is a global public health initiative aimed at increasing access to vaccines and protecting populations from preventable diseases such as measles, polio, and diphtheria. It focuses on delivering vaccines to children and vulnerable groups, strengthening health systems, and ensuring equitable immunization coverage. By preventing these diseases through immunization, EPI helps reduce illness, disability, and mortality, ultimately promoting healthier communities and contributing to overall disease control and eradication efforts worldwide.
