Here is a thorough overview of the Open Vial Policy (OVP) as per the Government of India (MoHFW) 2015 guidelines and the WHO Multi-dose Vial Policy (MDVP) 2014, from Park's Textbook of Preventive and Social Medicine:

Open Vial Policy (OVP) - 2015

What is it?

The Open Vial Policy was developed to minimize vaccine wastage under India's Universal Immunization Programme (UIP). It permits the reuse of partially used multi-dose vials of applicable vaccines in subsequent immunization sessions (both fixed and outreach) for up to 28 days (4 weeks), provided certain conditions are met.

Vaccines COVERED Under OVP

The policy applies to:

DPT (Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus)
TT / Td (Tetanus Toxoid)
Hepatitis B
OPV (Oral Polio Vaccine)
Liquid Pentavalent (including Hib)
PCV (Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine)
IPV (Injectable Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine)

Vaccines NOT Covered Under OVP

OVP does NOT apply to:

Measles / MR vaccine
BCG vaccine
Japanese Encephalitis (JE) vaccine
Rotavirus vaccine

These are reconstituted or freeze-dried vaccines and must be discarded after the session (see below).

Conditions for Reuse (all must be met)

A vial opened at a session site can be reused in subsequent sessions within 28 days ONLY if:

Expiry date has not passed
Cold chain maintained - vaccines stored at appropriate temperature during transport and at the cold chain point
Vial septum not submerged in water or contaminated in any way
Aseptic technique used to withdraw all doses (needle/septum not contaminated)
VVM (Vaccine Vial Monitor) has not reached or crossed the discard point
Not exposed to direct sunlight

All opened vials must have the date and time of opening recorded on them.

Discard Criteria - When to Throw Away a Vial

A vaccine vial must be DISCARDED (and the Medical Officer/Supervisor informed) if:

VVM has reached/crossed the discard point
No label, partially torn label, or illegible writing on label
Exposed to a non-sterile withdrawal procedure
Vial has been submerged in water or removed from a carrier with water
Vaccine is frozen, contains floccules, or any foreign body
Crack or leakage in the vial
Any reported AEFI (Adverse Event Following Immunization) from the vial - do not use and retain safely

End of Session Protocol

Vaccine Type	Action at End of Session
DPT, TT, Hep B, Pentavalent (fulfilling OVP criteria)	Return to Cold Chain Point for reuse in next session (within 28 days)
BCG, Measles/MR, JE	Discard within 48 hours or before next session, whichever is earlier
Reconstituted vaccines (general)	Discard within 6 hours of opening/reconstitution or end of session, whichever is first

Key Point on WHO Policy (MDVP 2014)

The WHO Multi-dose Vial Policy (revised 2014) forms the basis of India's OVP. It specifies:

Opened vials that meet all safety conditions: can be kept for up to 28 days
Reconstituted/freeze-dried vaccines: must be discarded after 6 hours or end of session, whichever comes first

If that still doesn't work, here are a few things to try:

Right-click the link and select "Save link as..."
Try a different browser - some browsers block sandbox file downloads
Check your downloads folder - it may have already downloaded silently

If none of those work, I can also:

Convert the content to an HTML page you can print-to-PDF from your browser
Generate the content as a PPTX presentation instead
Display the full content as formatted text you can copy

What would you prefer?
