Measles and Rubella Vaccination Campaign
India is committed to a goal of Measles elimination and control of rubella by 2020.
To achieve this goal, Measles Rubella Campaign is being launched in the country covering all children from 9 month to 15 years.
This campaign has aimed to cover 41 crore children across the county.
The vaccination will be provided through sites at schools and outreach session sites. This will be a major step towards reducing measles mortality burden in the country and reducing disabilities among children due to (CRS) congenital rubella syndrome.
For vaccination sessions in educational institutes / schools, institution authorities / school teachers and parents will play a key role in ensuring that targeted students are well informed and immunized during the campaign
