Background: Fourth Millennium Development Goal to reduce child mortality has immunization as a major strategy. In India, immunization is being provided under Reproductive and Child Health– II program, wherein one latest strategy is the introduction of Pentavalent vaccine in selected states.

Methodology: Cross-sectional study is carried out at one village each of three selected Sub-Centers of the Barwala PHC. Primary data collected using observation, checklist and interview techniques and the secondary data obtained, was analyzed using "MS Office 2007 Excel". Also, qualitative data was dealt with. Results and Conclusions: Coverage under RI was >/= 100% target achievements. Drop-out/Left-out rates were not calculated. "Timeliness of Vaccination" was in 75% of total users - minimum (61.9%) at the village of the farthest sub-centre. Children vaccinated were not observed for AEFI. Supply of vaccines was adequate with the cold chain maintained. Early expiry first out was followed for vaccines. Micro-planning and Alternate vaccine delivery followed guidelines. Vaccine lifting efficiency was 100%. Counterfoils available at session sites were 51.85%. Awareness amongst healthcare providers regarding Pentavalent vaccine was adequate and it was being administered. ANMs were delivering, not, all four key messages to the care-givers. Duplication of work for data reporting was found; data was consistent. Supervision was more by MO than LHV. ASHAs and AWWs were playing good role as mobilizers. Migratory population of the area is a challenge.
