Unlike most other disease prevention programs in public health, the ones involving vaccine-preventable diseases through well-managed national immunization programs (NIPs) have benefited by rapidly expanding science of vaccinology 1 . The prime objective of NIPs remains as: to administer the available, safe, and effective vaccines to all, especially to those that are most at risk. By prioritizing vulnerable populations -hard-to-reach rural populations, poor urban slums, migratory populations, pregnant women, and chronically underserved indigenous communities -NIPs become important drivers of reducing inequities in health, thus saving more lives more quickly, administering the benefits of the traditional and now the newer vaccines 2
