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.

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