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.

Vardhan, while digitally addressing the Inter-Ministerial meeting on Vaccination of South Asia against COVID-19 by the World Bank, reminded everyone of the strong political commitment of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has been personally supervising the vaccine production by visiting the manufacturing facilities of pharmaceutical companies engaged in the production of vaccines. It is expected that the vaccine will be available in the coming few weeks and the vaccination process will kickstart in India as soon as it is approved by the concerned regulatory agency. With stringent oversight, we are ensuring, that there is no compromise on scientific and regulatory norms, stretching from the safety of the trials to the efficacy of the vaccines, he said.
