Abstract

comprehensive safety evaluation of immunization in infants and children in India, focusing on the immunization schedule, vaccine safety, adverse events, and strategies to address the Hesitancy of vaccines. The National Immunization Schedule (NIS) in India recommends a series of vaccines for infants and children to protect them against various diseases. All vaccines undergo rigorous testing and safety assessments before being introduced in the NIS. The well-being of vaccination far outweighs any possible risks. While immunization is generally safe, few children may see mild effects. Serious AEFIs are rare but can occur. The National AEFI Surveillance System in India monitors and investigates AEFIs to ensure the safety of vaccines. Hesitancy while immunization is a developing concern in India. Healthcare professionals play a crucial role in addressing concerns about immunization safety and promoting vaccine acceptance. This paper highlights the importance of immunization and the need for continued efforts to strengthen the immunization program, address vaccine hesitancy, and ensure impartial accessibility to vaccines for all children in India.
