ITSU
Fulfilling Immunization Needs

91-1141213100

The Immunization Technical

Support Unit was established
by the Government of India to
ensure that every child and
mother in India gets the
immunization they need. ITSU is
a collaborative effort between
the Government of India, the
Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare, and the Public Health
Foundation of India. ITSU also
receives funding from the Bill
and Melinda Gates Foundation.

ITSU aims to help achieve the goal set by the Government of India when it announced
the year 2012 to be that of increasing the reach of routine immunizations. The MultiYear Strategic Plan for Immunization, set by the Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare, also aims to be implemented by ITSU.

ITSU works in all the states of India, ensuring that there is greater public awareness and
increased receptivity to immunizations among both the rural and urban populace. It
engages in increased social involvement through social media and community action.

Advisory Group on Immunization by
deriving models and support from other
countries who have been successful in
implementing immunization programs.

India.

ITSU has helped improve the Mother and Child tracking system
which further helps to improve the efficiency of the
immunization program in India, ensuring that all mothers and
children are adequately covered through the program.
Mission Indradhanush was launched under ITSU in 2015. This
was to ensure immunization of pregnant women and children
under the age of two years for a total of seven preventable
diseases.

The cMYP 2013-2017 was developed by ITSU to build a more

comprehensive tracking framework to analyze the reach of the program.
Through this, the quality and coverage of the program was further enhanced.
ITSU conducted a Deep Dive exercise, under the aegis of the
Vaccine Logistics and Cold Chain Management Unit . This study was
conducted in three different states of India and helped to identify, analyze,
and eliminate blockages in the vaccine supply chain and logistics. This data
helped to make the supply chain process much faster in all the states of India.

Electronic Vaccine Intelligence

Network, or eVin, was designed to solve
the challenges that were identified in the
Deep Dive exercise. This was implemented
in both the state and national levels. It has
helped to shorten the duration of stock to
just one day from the previous four days.
ITSU assessed and reviewed the solar
vaccine refrigerators set up by the
government and made recommendations
to scale up and design more in the future.
