Children below 5 years of age who have not received the necessary vaccines will get vaccinations for different diseases in Jaipur. This campaign will run from 11 to 16 September.
The second phase of Mission Indradhanush will be started for vaccination against different types of diseases. In this, vaccines will be given to children as well as pregnant women in all the PHC-CHC of the district.
According to the Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO) Jaipur, Dr. Vijay Singh Faujdar, “A head count survey of children and pregnant women is being conducted for vaccination in the campaign. To identify them, teams are going door-to-door and doing survey work in slums.”
“The data of children and pregnant women to be vaccinated under the campaign will be updated in UWin software. Just as certificates were issued after registering on the Covin app, in the same way the database of children is being prepared.
