Abstract
Routine Immunization is one of the most cost effective public health interventions and was first introduced in India in 1978. Yet, despite the concerted efforts of the government and other health agencies, a large proportion of venerable infants and children in India remain unimmunized particularly in rural areas. The present study was conducted to assess outreach session of routine immunization in rural area of study district. Total 20 immunization sessions were observed. At majority of session sites planning of immunization sessions, cold chain maintenance, alternate vaccine delivery mechanism was satisfactory. Out of 20, 10% sessions were not conducted against planned on the date of visit. Time of reconstitution was mentioned on BCG vials and Measles vaccine vial at all sessions. Refreshing training of ANM, regular supervision and effective review meetings should be conducted. Supervisory supervision should be used as corrective measure and rechecking of facility at interval for correction.
