National Immunization Program

The National Immunization Program (NIP) is a public health initiative designed to protect communities from vaccine-preventable diseases. By providing vaccinations at no or low cost, the program aims to immunize children and adults against diseases like measles, polio, and flu. This helps reduce illness and death, supports herd immunity, and lowers healthcare costs. The NIP educates the public on vaccine benefits, ensuring timely immunizations and broad community participation. By participating in this program, individuals contribute to the overall health of society, preventing the spread of infectious diseases.
