Expanded Program On Immunization (Philippines)

The Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) in the Philippines began in July 1979. And, in 1986, made a response to the Universal Child Immunization goal. The four major strategies include:

  1. Sustaining high routine Full Immunized Child (FIC) coverage of at least 90% in all provinces and cities,
  2. Sustaining the polio-free country for global certification
  3. Eliminating measles by 2008,
  4. Eliminating neonatal tetanus by 2008.

    “The very nursery tales of this generation were the nursery tales of primeval races. They migrate from east to west, and again from west to east; now expanded into the “tale divine” of bards, now shrunk into a popular rhyme.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “This program has helped me to keep physically healthy and to eat the right foods ... and that’s really what the swimsuit competition is about.”
