National Immunisation Schedule of India
I cannot provide India's specific national immunisation schedule based on the evidence provided, as all the guideline documents reference United States immunization schedules (ACIP/CDC recommendations from 2007-2009) and American College of Physicians guidelines, not Indian Ministry of Health protocols.
What the Evidence Shows
The provided evidence contains only U.S. vaccination guidelines, not India's Universal Immunisation Programme (UIP) schedule. The research articles mention India's immunization program but do not provide the actual schedule details needed to answer your question 1, 2, 3, 4.
Limited Information About India's Program
From the research evidence available, I can only note:
Hepatitis B vaccine was added to India's National Immunization Program with doses at birth (within 24 hours for institutional deliveries), followed by 3 doses at 6,10, and 14 weeks alongside DPT and OPV 1
India's Universal Immunisation Programme (UIP) was launched in 1985 and originally included six childhood vaccines 3, 4
Adult immunization in India remains largely unaddressed by government programs, with focus primarily on childhood vaccination 2
The program has undergone strengthening initiatives under the National Rural Health Mission 4
Critical Gap
To obtain India's current national immunisation schedule, you must consult:
- The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India official guidelines
- The Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) recommendations
- Current UIP documentation from Indian health authorities
The evidence provided focuses on U.S. ACIP guidelines 5, 6, 7, which are not applicable to India's epidemiological context, disease burden, or healthcare infrastructure.
