چکیده
The National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation in India (NTAGI) fulfils a need for informing decision-making concerning the introduction of new vaccines and strengthening the Universal Immunisation Programme (UIP).

Current challenges include institutionalizing mechanisms to follow-up and monitor recommendations, to support research needs to fill information gaps, and to provide technical assistance for monitoring and periodically reviewing the UIP.
