MCQ
उत्तर
Malaria
Explanation:
Malaria is not included in the Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI) by WHO, as there was no widely available malaria vaccine during the early phases of the programme. The EPI initially focused on diseases like polio, tetanus, whooping cough (pertussis), measles, tuberculosis, and diphtheria. However, a malaria vaccine (RTS, S/AS01) has recently been developed and is gradually being introduced in select regions to combat the disease.
