The Program (Reg. No. 4677) provides for the epidemic well-being of the population by means of reducing the number of infection cases to be overcome by means of immunoprophylaxis.

 

The National Program envisages a complex of organizational and systematic measures to be taken to reduce the number of infection cases and vaccinate at least 95 per cent of the population.
