Purple Book: IAP Guidebook on Immunization 2025, 5/E for Pediatricians and PG Pediatric Students | Vaccine Storage, Cold Chain, Revised AEFI Form and Newer Kids on the Block: 1

Purple Book: IAP Guidebook on Immunization 2025 , 5th Edition, is the Indian Academy of Pediatrics' (IAP) official immunization reference, compiled by its Advisory Committee on Vaccines and Immunization Practices (ACVIP). Spanning 6 sections, 41 chapters, and close to 700 pages, this edition reviews and revises every chapter from the previous edition and adds a new "Newer Kids on the Block" section covering vaccines already licensed and used globally that are likely to reach the Indian market soon. Coverage runs from the history and structure of India's Universal Immunization Programme through general vaccination principles (immunology, epidemiology, disease surveillance, vaccine storage and handling, scheduling, adverse events following immunization, and vaccine hesitancy), a dedicated chapter for every licensed vaccine from BCG and Polio through COVID-19 and Zoster, pipeline vaccines for malaria, dengue, respiratory syncytial virus, and monkeypox, vaccination of special groups (adolescents, pregnant women, travelers, and special clinical situations), and a forward-looking section on future vaccine technology and needle-free delivery devices. This edition adds the "Ideal Immunization Clinic" model, vaccine preparedness guidance for future pandemics, and a revised Adverse Event Following Immunization (AEFI) reporting form, alongside the latest National Immunization Schedule and the IAP Immunization Time Table 2025 - all presented in a user-friendly, quick-reference format with data tables throughout. Who This Book Is For: Pediatricians: works as a reliable office-practice companion and ready reckoner for evidence-based immunization decisions across every licensed and pipeline vaccine. Pediatrics Postgraduates (MD/DNB): covers the complete spectrum of vaccine immunology, scheduling, and adverse-event management needed for postgraduate training in pediatric immunization. General Practitioners (GPs): provides practical, chapter-by-chapter vaccine administration, storage, and AEFI-reporting guidance for frontline immunization practice. Why This Book Helps: Keeps pace with the current vaccine landscape: reviews and revises every chapter from the prior edition and adds a dedicated "Newer Kids on the Block" section for pipeline vaccines against malaria, dengue, RSV, and monkeypox. Simplifies AEFI reporting and causality assessment: the revised AEFI form and a dedicated chapter on adverse-event detection, reporting, and redressal turn a complex regulatory process into a clear, structured workflow. Standardizes vaccine storage and handling: practical cold-chain and administration guidelines reduce the risk of vaccine wastage and administration errors in daily practice. Covers every special vaccination scenario in one place: dedicated coverage of adolescent, maternal, traveler, and special-situation immunization removes the need to consult multiple separate references. Addresses vaccine hesitancy directly: a dedicated chapter equips practitioners to counter misinformation and improve parental confidence in routine immunization. Key Features: 41 chapters across 6 sections and close to 700 pages, with a dedicated chapter for every currently licensed vaccine from BCG to COVID-19 and Zoster. New "Newer Kids on the Block" section covering malaria, dengue, respiratory syncytial virus, and monkeypox pipeline vaccines. Latest National Immunization Schedule 2025 and IAP Immunization Time Table 2025, plus a Ready Reckoner for vaccines currently available in India. Revised Adverse Event Following Immunization (AEFI) reporting form, plus dedicated vaccine-hesitancy and pandemic-preparedness chapters. Data tables throughout, including vaccine milestone history and antigen-wise national immunization coverage trends.
