New Delhi, July 18 : An estimated 25.5 million children across India were vaccinated under India s Mission Indradhanush (MI) child vaccination campaign during March 2015-July 2017, according to a study.
In December 2014, the Government of India launched MI, with the objective of increasing full immunisation coverage.
MI was a periodic intensification of the routine immunisation (PIRI) programme, which targeted unvaccinated and under-vaccinated children by allocating more resources to underserved areas.
The programme was implemented in 528 districts with low initial full immunisation coverage and high dropout rates in four phases during March 2015-July 2017.
