SRINAGAR, Aug 2: The fifth phase of the Intensified Mission Indradhanush (IMI) is all set to commence across J&K from August 7, running for a week, during which children aged 0-5 years, along with pregnant women, will be covered.
In a press conference held here today, Dr Tabassum Jabeen, Director of Family Welfare MCH & Immunization, announced that this time the immunization process will be digitalized using U-Win, a system aimed at improving tracking of beneficiaries and reducing the number of left-outs.
Dr Jabeen emphasized that the IMI aims to reach out to partially vaccinated children and those left out, including pregnant women, to ensure effective coverage in the region. Moreover, the initiative seeks to achieve the target of eliminating Measles-Rubella.
