Functions:
(a) Care in Illness : This is the felt need of the mother and child for which any child is brought to the clinic. The usual illnesses encountered in children under five are fever, diarrhoea, ARI, infections of the skin and helminthiasis. The facility should provide for essential laboratory investigations and X-ray facilities. The Clinic should be backed by an effective referral mechanism.

(b) Growth Monitoring : This is one of the most important functions of the clinic. The child is weighed periodically – every month during the first year, every 2 monthly from 1 to 3 years of age and every 3 monthly in 4th and 5th years.Besides weighing, measuring height, mid arm circumference can also be carried out depending upon the availability of trained manpower and equipments. The growth is plotted on the growth chart and any faltering in the growth is detected and suitable action initiated. The milestones are also recorded and any delay in achieving milestone is evaluated.

(c) Preventive Care :This involves primarily the immunization services during the 1st five years of life, vitamin A supplementation and administration of Iron supplementation and antihelminthic treatment to prevent anemia. The preventive care also provides for regular health check up and use of ORS during Diarrhoea to prevent dehydration from developing.

Why immunization?• Immunization is one of the safest and most
effective methods of preventing childhood diseases.
• Under the Universal Immunization Programme (UIP), significant achievements have been made in preventing and controlling the Vaccine Preventable Diseases (VPDs).
• Immunization has to be sustained as a high priority to further reduce the incidence of all VPDs, control measles, eliminate tetanus and eradicate poliomyelitis.
April 12, 2023 Department Of Community Medicine SKIMS, Soura. Dr.Q.M.IQBAL
17
• Full immunization (i.e. received one dose of BCG, three doses of DPT, Hep-B and OPV each and one dose of Measles before one year of age) gives a child the best chance for a healthy life. Preventing disease before it occurs saves money, energy, and lives.
• Immunization is a key strategy to child survival. By protecting infants from VPDs, immunization significantly lowers morbidity and mortality rates in children. The security provided to families can lead to lower birth rates.
• Immunization is an indicator of a strong primary health care system.
April 12, 2023 Department Of Community Medicine SKIMS, Soura. Dr.Q.M.IQBAL
18
Reasons for Low immunization coverage
• Failure to provide immunization.
• Dropouts.
• Unreached populations.
• Resistant populations.
• Missed Opportunities.

21
PolioPolio is a viral infection that affects the nervous system and can cause severe illness, paralysis, and even death.Due to intensive immunization campaigns, there has been a very significant decline of polio cases in the country since 1999.

22
DiphtheriaDiphtheria is caused by bacteria (Coryne bacterium diphtherae). Diphtheria is an infectious disease that commonly infects the tonsils and pharynx, forming a membrane that can lead to obstructed breathing and death.

Cold Chain
April 12, 2023 Department Of Community Medicine SKIMS, Soura. Dr.Q.M.IQBAL
41
The Cold Chain is a system of storing and transporting vaccines at recommended temperatures from the point of manufacture to the point of use.
The key elements of the cold chain are:Personnel: to manage vaccine storage and
distributionEquipment: to store and transport vaccine and to
monitor temperatureProcedures: to ensure that vaccines are stored and
transported at appropriate temperatures
April 12, 2023 Department Of Community Medicine SKIMS, Soura. Dr.Q.M.IQBAL
42
• Keeping vaccines at the right temperature is not an easy task, but the consequences of not doing so can be disastrous. Once vaccine potency is lost, it cannot be regained.
• The damaged vaccines must be destroyed, leading to inadequate vaccine stocks and wastage of expensive vaccines.
• Moreover, children and women who receive a vaccine that is not potent are not protected.

• The physical appearance of the vaccine may remain unchanged even after it is damaged. However, the loss of potency due to either exposure to heat or cold is permanent and can not be regained.
April 12, 2023 Department Of Community Medicine SKIMS, Soura. Dr.Q.M.IQBAL
46
HEAT DAMAGE• All vaccines are damaged by temperatures more
than +80C, whether they are exposed to a lot of heat in a short time (e.g., as a result of keeping vaccine in a closed vehicle in the sun) or a small amount of heat over a long period (e.g., as a result of the frequent opening of lid of ILR).
• Reconstituted BCG, measles and JE vaccines are the most sensitive to heat and light. Since these live vaccines do not contain preservatives, there is risk of contamination with staphylococcus aureus leading to Toxic Shock Syndrome and, therefore, they should not be used after 4 hours of reconstitution.
