There are at least 27 causativeagents against which vaccines are available and manymore agents are targeted for development of vaccines.2The number of antigens used in the immunisationprogrammes varies from country to country. However,there are a few selected antigens which are given againstdiphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, poliomyelitis, measles andhepatitis B which are part of immunisation programmesin most of the countries in the world. The first vaccine,against small pox, was discovered in 1798, and fromthe early 18th century, the British health administrationintroduced vaccination against small pox in the Indiansub-continent.3 The first doses of smallpox vaccinelymph in India arrived in May 1802.4 The most strikingsuccess of these efforts has been the eradication ofsmallpox disease from the world.5 EPI is implemented in192 countries of the world. But data shows that despitebeing a proven cost-effective preventive public healthintervention, the benefits of immunisation is not reachingmany children who are at risk of the diseases preventableby these vaccines. Majority of the children who do notreceive these vaccines live in the developing countries.

Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 196 conveniently sampledprinting workers from 51 factories in September 2018. Data were collected by face-to-face interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire. A logistic regression model was applied to estimate the risk factors for dermatologicalproblems. Results: Among 196 respondents 74.0% experienced dermatological problems after joining a printingjob. Only 30.1% of respondents were found using personal protective equipment (PPE). No use of PPE, barriercream, hand washing more than 4 times a day, and duty in the printing process had a significant association with skinproblems (P<0.001). In the printing process, the workers who handled papers, chemicals, and machines and wereinvolved in cleaning machinery had a higher prevalence of dermatological problems. Logistic regression analysisshowed a significant association of skin problems among printing workers in Bangladesh with male (OR 0.23; 95%CI 0.06–0.98), higher monthly salaries (OR 17.98; 95% CI 3.14–103.08) and shorter daily work hours (OR 0.01;95% CI 0.01–0.56).
