vaccinated children and address these issues with focused
micro planning, provision of additional financial resources
and systematic immunization drives to reach these children
with all available life saving vaccines.

Karnataka districts of Kalaburagi, Yadgir, Raichur, Koppal, and
Ballari, Bengaluru (Urban) and in the jurisdiction of the Bruhat
Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) will be covered under

was launched in the city on Thursday.
❖Health Minister U.T. Khader, who along with Minister of
State for Medical Education Sharanprakash R. Patil, launched
the third phase on the occasion of World Health Day on

children who had either missed vaccination or were partially
vaccinated against nine vaccine-preventable diseases,
including diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, polio,
tuberculosis, measles and hepatitis B. Expecting mothers would
also be immunised for tetanus, he said.

Strategy’, administration of inactivated poliovirus vaccine,
which has now been introduced as part of the national

18. ➢To conclude we can say that Mission
Indradhanush scheme is a master stroke in
filling the sustainable goals set up by united
nations of eradicating diseases, reduce infant
mortality rate, provide more aid to pregnant
woman and her baby.
Conclusion
➢Partially immunized and unimmunized
children are most susceptible to childhood
diseases and are at a much higher risk of
dying as compared to fully immunized
children. If that were not reason enough,
immunizing children can go well beyond
saving individual lives.
➢ It can help in preventing large-scale
outbreaks of diseases as well as keeping the
disease under control in an area, thus
reducing the stress on an already burdened
health system.
➢Thus, full immunization is critical to reduce
child mortality and progress on socio-
economic indicators.
