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

Typhoid conjugate	2 years, 5 years, 8 years, 12 years
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.

Running Command

ls -lh /home/daytona/workspace/immunization-schedule/NIS_India_Reference.pdf

The file looks very small (4.6 KB), which suggests the table may not have rendered fully. Let me verify and fix this.

Running Command

cd /home/daytona/workspace/immunization-schedule && python3 -c " from pypdf import PdfReader r = PdfReader('NIS_India_Reference.pdf') print(f'Pages: {len(r.pages)}') for i, p in enumerate(r.pages): print(f'Page {i+1}: {p.mediabox}') text = p.extract_text() print(text[:500]) "

The PDF is 1 page and has all the content. The small file size is normal for text-only PDFs - the content is there. Let me do a quick full-text check to confirm all rows are present.

Running Command

cd /home/daytona/workspace/immunization-schedule && python3 -c " from pypdf import PdfReader r = PdfReader('NIS_India_Reference.pdf') text = r.pages[0].extract_text() # Check for key rows checks = ['Birth','6 Weeks','10 Weeks','14 Weeks','9–12','16–24','5–6','10 Years','16 Years','Pregnancy','Td-1','Td-2','Booster'] for c in checks: found = c in text print(f'{c}: {\"OK\" if found else \"MISSING\"}')"

All 13 rows are confirmed present. Your one-page reference PDF is ready:
