The EPI or expanded program of immunization by the DOH is a program developed by the DOH in the Philippines that mandates the Filipino children to be immunizad against the immunizable disease known. This includes the BCG vaccines, Hepa B vaccine, OPV, DPT vaccine, and the Measles vaccine. All of which have different intervals and dosages that should be given to the child before reaching 1 year old.
