The Immunizaion and Vaccine Development (IVD) unit of the Department of Family Health, Gender and Life Course (FGL), World Health Organizaion (WHO), Regional Oice
for South-East Asia (SEARO) has been producing annually the Expanded Programme on Immunizaion (EPI) fact sheets since 2002 for all SEA countries and the region. The
primary data source of the EPI fact sheets are the WHO-UNICEF joint reporing form (JRF) and SEARO annual EPI reporing form (AERF) in which each country oicially reports
EPI and vaccine preventable diseases (VPD) related core informaion annually. The EPI factsheets 2017 are based on 2016 data reported to WHO SEARO by the Member States.
