The programme provides access to vaccines against 11 Vaccine Preventable Diseases (VPDs) at the national level and against one VPD at the sub-national level.

MoHFW is also undertaking new initiatives including implementation of an Electronic Immunisation Registry (UWIN) to track vaccination status, introduce new vaccines under the UIP, and formulate strategies to address Zero-Dose, with a view to reduce VPD cases and improve immunisation outcomes.
