Barangay Bagumbayan Taguig City: Basis for Policy
Recommendation

SHORT BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY:

According to Philippine Immunization Strategic Plan, 2016-2022 it provides the road

map for scaling up the current Expanded Program of Immunization into a National
Immunization Program over the next 5 years. It contains the policy direction, the goals
and objectives and the key strategies to be pursued in addressing vaccine-preventable
diseases affecting not only the neonates, infants, children and pregnant women but also
those that compromise the health and welfare of other vulnerable groups like the
adolescents and the elderly. The National Immunization Program, which was then
known as Expanded Program for Immunization, was launched by the Philippine
government on July 12, 1976 with the assistance of World Health Organization (WHO)
and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to ensure that infants/children and
mothers have access to routinely recommended infant/childhood vaccines. The
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.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:
