    Expanded Program on Immunization

    Children need not die young if they receive complete and timely immunization. Children who are not
    fully immunized are more susceptible to common childhood diseases. The Expanded Program on
    Immunization is one of the DOH Programs that has already been institutionalized and adopted by
    all LGUs in the region. Its objective is to reduce infant mortality and morbidity through decreasing the
    prevalence of six (6) immunizable diseases (TB, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio and measles)

    Special campaigns have been undertaken to improve further program implementation, notably
    the National Immunization Days (NID), Knock Out Polio (KOP) and Garantisadong Pambata (GP)
    since 1993 to 2000. This is being supported by increasing/sustaining the routine immunization and
    improved surveillance system.
