Part D: IAP (Indian Academy of Paediatrics) Additional Vaccines

These vaccines are not part of UIP due to cost constraints but recommended by IAP:

Vaccine	Recommended Schedule

Varicella	15 months (or after 1 year)
Hepatitis A	18 months, and 6 months later (high-risk infants)
PCV (if not in UIP area)	Starting at 6 weeks
Influenza	6 months of age, annually (high-risk infants)

Key Notes

Pentavalent vaccine = DPT + Hepatitis B + Hib combined. When used, separate DPT/HepB/Hib injections are NOT given at 6, 10, 14 weeks.
PCV is currently available in selected states: Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh (select districts), Rajasthan, and Haryana (state initiative).
JE vaccine is introduced only in endemic districts following a campaign.
fIPV = fractional dose IPV (0.1 ml intradermal) replacing full-dose IPV in the current schedule.
Td at 10 years: Give only 1 dose if previously vaccinated within 3 years.
Vitamin A doses 2nd through 9th can be given to children aged 1-5 years, one dose every 6 months.
