CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
        Nigeria is a signatory to the survival, production and development of children which was articulated at 49th world health assembly in 1988. This was further reinforced by the world summit for children held in New York in 1990. Thus, this declaration established challenges for global immunization. Therefore, the federal government of Nigeria through the federal ministry of Health has pursued an active immunization programme and has given necessary priority to its immunization programme. The expanded programme on immunization (EPI) was initiated in 1979. However, in view of the critical need to enhance the effectiveness of immunization which was fast declining and to meet global challenges of immunization, the (EPM was restructured in 1997 and it was named national programme on immunization (NPI) and established as a parastatals of Federal Ministry of Health by (Decree 12 of 1997). The NPI is charged with the responsibility of effectively controlling through provision of vaccines and immunization. The occurrence of the following disease tuberculosis, polio-myelitis, diphtheria, pretties, neonatal, tetanus, measles-yellow fever, cerebra spinal meningnitis (CSM), hepatitis B and other diseases as epidemiological evidence may deem necessary.
        In Nigeria, the three levels of government (Federal, State, and Local) are important partners, committed to the formulation of strategies and support for the implementation of an effective immunization programme. National programme on immunization is 5 years. National strategic plan, 2001-2005. It adopts the regional and sub-regional vision and strategies for morbidity and mortality reduction vaccine preventable disease while polio eradication remains the major focus given the set targets, strengthening of the immunization services delivery system will be a key component to be addressed in order to improve routine immunization serves. Other area of focus include update of current immunization policy to include safety of injection and waste disposal management issue, training of immunization personnel rehabilitation and expansion of the cold chain vaccine supply and distribution, strengthening of surveillance system  advocacy and social mobilization collaboration with the private health sector will also be fostered.
        The later agency coordinating committee (ICC) will expand to include more members and will take part in mobilization resources as well as monitoring plan implementation and fund utilization yearly target for immunization coverage have been set that will allow evaluation of the progress made. The estimate budget for the implementation of the planned activities is US $678,501,115. However, the annual plans derived from the five year plan will provide more accurate figure for the yearly implementation of the programme activities. Immunization is the process of protecting the body against diseases by means of vaccines or serums. San, C. A. (1987) every living thing on this planet has natural immunity by birth in humans new born babies receive the natural immunity in form of antibodies from mother. These antibodies are transferred to the infant through breast milk however, through early infancy. Thus, it is very necessary for everybody to have immunity against the crippling deadly diseases, immunization is a way to stimulate the body to produce immunity to an offending agent (bacteria or virus). This form of immunity is referred to as acqui8red immunity. There are two types of immunization namely; active immunization and passive immunization.
Active Immunization: this involves the use of vaccine it is another term for vaccines. A vaccine contains substance that stimulate the body immune system to produce antibody project, then if he or she is exposed to the actual disease causing organism. Vaccine contain substance that are powerful enough to trigger antibody production but that do not actually causes diseases. Vaccine have been developed against many diseases like chicken pox, diohtheria, influenza, measles, meningitis, mumps, poliomyelitis, rabies, tetanus, whooping cough, yellow fever, rubella (German measles) etc. most vaccines are injected into the body but that of sabin polio vaccine is taken orally. A single dose of some vaccine provides life-long protection against infection other vaccine requires several dose to produce immunity and then must reinforced at regular intervals with booster dose.
        Passive immunization involves the injection of serum into the body. A serum contain antibodies that have been formed in another person or an antitrial to provides almost immediate protection, from infection, but this immunity last only a few months because the antibody gradually disappears. Physicians give serums to people against disease, people to which vaccine have not been developed. Great snide have been made on NPI activities inspite of above, Alakiya and Sofolue (1980) and Ogunmekan (1976) reported a low level of involvement by the public, essentially mothers about the national programme on immunization, hence, the prevalence of the deadly disease causing a very high mortality rate among infants. Thus, many problem faced by NPI which include low level of awareness, inadequate vaccine, poor funding, lack of adequate publicity and coverage, inadequate staffing and clinic to mention but a few.
        The research intend to find out the extent of utilization of the program Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area, Edo State and ascertain if the above reason also apply to the area research it is hoped that the result to this study will go a long way  to reducing if not eliminating the problem area.
