Appeal to Headmen & religious leaders for making immunization of infants & pregnant women

Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaFebruary 4, 2022

With an objective to ensure full immunization and complete immunization of children and pregnant women, the Department of Health & Family Welfare, East Khasi Hills will conduct the Intensified Mission Indradhanush 4.0 in the district from the 7th-14th February next.

As the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted essential immunization services due to multiple reasons, the possibility of un/partially vaccinated children being exposed to the risk of vaccine-preventable diseases is very high.

Thus, to catch up on gaps that might have emerged due to the pandemic, Intensified Mission Indradhanush 4.0 has been planned to reach out to unvaccinated and partially vaccinated children and pregnant women.

Parents are therefore requested to bring their children below 2 (two) years of age who are due for Immunization to the session sites in their respective locality for vaccination.

Headmen, NGOs, Church leaders etc. are also requested to join hands with the Department of Health & Family Welfare for the success of the programme, to ensure that all children are fully immunized. For details, the nearest Government Health Centres, ASHAS, AWWS & ANMs may be contacted.
