Which was the first vaccine introduced in India ?
Answer: D
The first vaccine introduced in India was BCG.
BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin), against tuberculosis, was introduced in India in 1948, and mass BCG vaccination campaigns followed from 1951. It was in use decades before the national immunisation programme began.
Oral polio vaccine came with the Expanded Programme on Immunization later on. Hepatitis B vaccine was added to the routine schedule in the 2000s, and rotavirus vaccine was introduced in 2016, so all three are much later.
