DEF

The administration of antibodies transferred from one organism to another to evoke a temporary immune response against a disease or infectious agent.

CONT

Passive immunization involves the transfer of pre-formed antibodies, from one person to another or from an animal product, to provide immediate, temporary protection from infection or to reduce the severity of illness caused by the infectious agent. Protection provided by passive immunization is temporary because the transferred antibodies degrade over time.

The Global Programme for Vaccines and Immunization (GPV) was established in March 1994. This Programme incorporated two existing programmes from the World Health Organization, the Expanded Programme on Immunization and the former Programme for Vaccine Development, and a new unit for Vaccine Supply and Quality was established. The Programme thus has terms of reference that span from basic vaccine research, through vaccine production and quality control, to helping ministries of health plan and manage their immunization services and control vaccine-preventable diseases.

In 1974, when the Expanded Programme on Immunization was launched by the World Health Organization (WHO), less than 5% of the world's children were immunized against the six initial target diseases - diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, measles, and tuberculosis - during their first year of life. Up till then, immunization programmes were largely restricted to industrialized countries, and even then only partially implemented. By 1990, and again in the most recent statistics (after a slight interim drop in coverage rates), almost 80% of the 130 million children born each year were immunized before their first birthday.
