Long history of vaccination in schools


SCHOOL-BASED immunisation in Malaysia is part of a comprehensive School Health Programme (SHP) that was established in 1967. It was a joint programme between the Health (MOH) and Education (MOE) ministries and was initiated after some pilot testing. It was later incorporated into the Maternal and Child Health programme in 1971.

Eventually, a joint committee between MOH and MOE was established.
