As per the National Immunization Schedule, a child is recorded as a 'Fully Immunized Child' if she has received which set of vaccines before her first birthday?

• A One dose each of BCG, OPV, DPT and measles
• B BCG, three doses each of DPT, OPV and pentavalent, and one dose of measles/MR ✓
• C BCG, three doses of DPT, three doses of OPV, and two doses of measles given nine months apart
• D BCG, hepatitis B birth dose, rotavirus, and one dose of measles rubella

Explanation

The standard survey definition of a Fully Immunized Child requires BCG, three primary doses each of DPT, OPV and pentavalent, and one dose of measles or MR vaccine, all completed before the first birthday. The single-dose option ignores the three-dose primary series, while the two-measles-dose option describes the current schedule extension rather than the classical FIC indicator used in coverage surveys.
