The Key Topics Emerged Were:

• There is a need to ensure all the essential vaccines that have the maximum impact on preventing childhood mortality and morbidity are administered.

• Going forward, a certain set of vaccines which cannot be a part of the Universal Immunization Programme should be made available to the public through the private sector.

• The overarching recommendation is that- if affordability is not a concern, all vaccines from both government and private sector should be administered.

• Health education for food and water borne diseases, hand washing and maintaining personal hygiene is a non negotiable for keeping children healthy.
