EPI Kya Hai Aur Kahan Milta Hai
EPI ka matlab hai Expanded Programme on Immunization — Pakistan government ka national immunization program jo bachon ko 10+ khatarnaak bimariyon se bachata hai. Yeh sab vaccines bilkul free milti hain government ke Basic Health Units (BHU), Rural Health Centres (RHC), Civil Dispensaries, Tehsil aur District hospitals, aur Lady Health Worker visits par. Apna pink immunization card sambhal kar rakhna zaruri hai — har visit pe stamp lagwana.
| Birth (Paida hote hi) | BCG (TB), OPV-0, Hepatitis B |
| 6 hafte | OPV-1, Penta-1, PCV-1, Rota-1 |
| 10 hafte | OPV-2, Penta-2, PCV-2, Rota-2 |
| 14 hafte | OPV-3, Penta-3, PCV-3, IPV (injection) |
| 9 mahine | Measles-1, Typhoid conjugate |
| 15 mahine | Measles-2 |
| Pregnant women | Tetanus Toxoid (TT-1 to TT-5) |
Har Vaccine Kis Bimari Se Bachata Hai
- BCG: Tuberculosis (TB) — Pakistan mein TB common hai, isliye paida hote hi lagti hai
- OPV (oral polio): Polio ke qatre — Pakistan abhi bhi polio endemic hai, har dose zaruri
- Hepatitis B: Liver ki bimari aur liver cancer
- Pentavalent (Penta): 5-in-1 — Diphtheria, Pertussis (whooping cough), Tetanus, Hep B, Hib (meningitis)
- PCV (Pneumococcal): Pneumonia aur meningitis
- Rota: Rotavirus dast — Pakistan mein bachon ki #2 mortality cause
- IPV (injectable polio): Additional polio protection
- Measles: Khasra — jaanleva ban sakta hai
- Typhoid Conjugate (TCV): 2019 se EPI mein shamil — Pakistan mein typhoid bohot zyada
Birth Doses — Paida Hote Hi
Paida hote hi 3 vaccines: BCG (bain bazu pe injection — chota nishan hamesha ke liye reh sakta hai, yeh normal hai), OPV-0 (muh mein qatre), aur Hepatitis B (injection). Aksar hospital mein paida hone par yeh do days mein lag jaati hain. Agar ghar par paida hua to 14 din ke andar nearest BHU lay jaein.
6, 10, 14 Hafte Ki Visits
Yeh routine visits sab se important hain — har visit pe 3-4 vaccines lagti hain. Multiple vaccines ek saath safe hain — research ne prove kiya hai immune system pe bojh nahi parta. Penta thigh (jangh) mein lagti hai, OPV muh mein qatre, Rota bhi muh mein liquid.

Abhi Doctor Se Milein9 Aur 15 Mahine — Measles Aur Typhoid
9 mahine pe Measles-1 (khasra) aur Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine lagti hai. 15 mahine pe Measles-2 booster. Measles ke 2 doses 95% protection dete hain. Typhoid conjugate vaccine 2019 se Pakistan ke routine schedule mein add hua — yeh XDR typhoid jo Pakistan mein zyada hai us se bachata hai.
Vaccine Ke Side Effects — Kya Normal Hai
Mamoli side effects bilkul normal hain aur batate hain ke vaccine kaam kar rahi hai:

- Injection wali jagah lali, sujan, ya halka dard
- Halki sustai, zyada sona, kam khaana 1-2 din
- Halki fussiness ya rona
Serious reactions bohot rare hain — 30 minute clinic mein ruk kar dekh lena ideal hai. Allergic reaction ki nishani: tezi se rash, chehre/zubaan sujan, saans phoolna — foran emergency.

- Bukhar 39C (102.2F) se zyada
- Persistent rona 3+ ghante

Aam Galat Fehmiyaan Door Karein
"Vaccines se autism hota hai" — Ghalat. 1998 ki ek study jhooti thi aur withdraw ho chuki hai. Lakhon bachon par research ne saabit kiya: vaccines aur autism mein koi taluq nahi.
"Polio qatre se bachay ko nuksan hota hai" — Bilkul ghalat. Polio Pakistan se khatm karne ki koshish jari hai. Campaign mein additional drops bilkul safe hain — extra protection dete hain. Workers ko gate par mat rokein.
"Vaccines mein haraam ajzaa hote hain" — Ghalat. Pakistan mein use hone wali EPI vaccines Islamic Advisory Group se halal-certified hain.
"Multiple vaccines ek hi din mein khatarnaak hain" — Ghalat. Bachon ka immune system roz lakhon germs handle karta hai. 4-5 vaccines ek saath bilkul safe aur efficient hain.
"Vaccines bandiyaan banane ke liye hain" — Bilkul jhooti propaganda. Yeh khatarnaak afwah hai jis se Pakistan mein bachay marte hain.
Pink Card Sambhal Kar Rakhain
Immunization card school admission, Pakistan se bahar travel (yellow fever certificate ya polio certificate), aur catch-up doses ke liye zaruri hai. Photo bhi mobile mein rakhain backup ke liye. Khaarij ho jaye to nearest health centre se duplicate ban sakti hai.
