A child considered to be within the FIC category is one who received a dose of Bacillus
Calmette-Guerin vaccine and Hepatitis B at birth; three doses of DPT/Pentavalent within the 6th, 10th and 14th weeks in the life of a child and one dose of the measles vaccine at nine months.

In 1974, WHO established the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) to ensure that all children have access to four routinely recommended vaccines that protect against tuberculosis, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, and measles (4): bacillus
Calmette-Guerin vaccine (BCG), DTP, polio vaccine (Pol), and MCV WHO and UNICEF derive national coverage estimates through an annual country-by-country review of all available data, including administrative and survey-based coverage (5,6); in general, only doses administered through routine immunization visits are counted.* DTP3 coverage by age 12 months is a key indicator of immunization program performance.
The study involved the currently available bacille
Calmette-Guerin vaccine and an experimental subunit vaccine candidate, H4:IC31, which uses the IC31 adjuvant available under license from Valneva.
