Focus on Universal Immunization: Dr
Harsh Vardhan launches Intensified Mission Indradhanush (IMI) 3.0
IMI 3.0 to be conducted in two rounds starting from February 22 and March 22

Dr. Harsh Vardhan, Union Minister of Health and Family
Welfare launched Intensified Mission Indradhanush 3.0 today. Shri Ashwini Kumar
Choubey, Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare and Shri Mangal Pandey,
Health Minister,
The Union Minister also launched the IMI
3.0 portal and released the Operational Guidelines for IMI 3.0 and the
awareness material/IEC package developed as part of the campaign.
Dr. Harsh Vardhan expressed his elation at the elaborate
preparations to immunize every mother and child: The Intensified Mission
Indradhanush 3.0 will have two rounds starting from February 22 and March 22,
2021 and will be conducted in pre-identified 250 districts/urban areas across
29 States/UTs in the country. Focus of the IMI 3.0 will be the children and
pregnant women who have missed their vaccine doses during the COVID-19
pandemic. They will be identified and vaccinated during the two rounds of IMI
3.0. Each round will be for 15 days each. Beneficiaries from migration
areas and hard to reach areas will be targeted as they may have missed their
vaccine doses during COVID19.
Dr Harsh Vardhan noted that IMI 3.0 will
build on the gains of previous phases of the campaign and make lasting gains
towards Universal Immunization: “Since its first phase, Mission Indradhanushhas
covered 690 districts and vaccinated 37.64 million children and 9.46 million
pregnant women.The present eighth campaign will target achieving 90% Full
Immunization Coverage (FIC) in all districts of the country and sustain the
coverage through immunization system strengthening and foster India’s march
towards the Sustainable Development Goals.”Mission Indradhanush was launched in
2014 under the leadership and vision of the Hon. Prime Minister Shri Narendra
Modi ji to provide affordable and accessible healthcare to all citizens of the
country, the Union Health Minister stated.
As per the Guidelines released for IMI
3.0, the districts have been classified to reflect 313 low risk; 152 as medium
risk; and 250 as high risk districts.
Expanding on the role of the campaign in
the context on the present COVID crisis, he said, “The country has successfully
been able to contain COVID19 and the drive for two indigenous vaccines is being
carried out in the country. With this, the importance of a vaccine has never
been so strongly felt. Every year the Universal Immunization Programme caters
to the vaccination needs of 2.65 crore children and 2.9 crore pregnant women
against 12 Vaccine Preventable Diseases. Despite these efforts by all the
States and UTs, some children and pregnant women get missed out from this
network.Mission Indradhanush is indeed a successful strategy to reach out to
every dropped out and left out child and pregnant woman. There has been
remarkable improvement in the immunization coverage which is also evident in
the NFHS5 data as available for 22 States.”
On the massive push to provide affordable
health to the last citizen, the minister observed, “Implementing large
campaigns like Intensified Mission Indradhanush (IMI) 3.0 even during the roll
out of COVID-19 vaccine is a clear indication of
Shri Ashwini Kumar Choubey said, “The
Mission Indradhanush campaigns have proven to be tailor made for the Indian
context, and have given far reaching results during the earlier phases.
Mission Indradhanush& Intensified Mission Indradhanush has enabled the
immunization system in reaching hard to reach and high-risk areas including
brick kilns, construction sites and nomadic population. The previous
campaigns also helped in improving the micro-planning, generating demand for
immunization services and strengthening the supporting systems.”
The Ministers expressed satisfaction that
COVID Appropriate Behaviour (CAB) will be ensured during the immunization
activities held as part of the IMI 3.0 campaign. States have been asked
to follow "Staggered Approach" to avoid crowding at the session sites
and even plan Break-up sessions if staggered approach is not effective to avoid
crowding. The sessions are also planned in such a way that not more than
10 beneficiaries are present at the session site at one given point in time.
Ms. Vandana Gurnani, Additional Secretary
and Mission Director, National Health Mission, Ms. Preeti Pant, Joint Secretary
(Reproductive & Child Health)and other senior officials of the Ministry
were present at the event.
Senior Health officials of the State
governments and representatives of Development partners like UNDP, BMGF joined
virtually.

Dr Harsh Vardhan appeals to the
Medical Community and Frontline Workers to come forward and take the COVID19
Vaccine
The Nation is indebted to your dedication and sacrifice- Dr Harsh Vardhan
“Do not fall prey to the campaigns of misinformation and falsehood”
“Both the Vaccines cleared by the country’s Drugs Controller General are Safe
and Immunogenic”

Dr. Harsh Vardhan, Union Minister of
Health and Family Welfare today appealed the medical community and the frontline
workers through the media to come forward and take the COVID vaccine. This
comes on the day the country crossed a major landmark as more than 1 crore
vaccine doses were administered to the healthcare and frontline workers. The
country’s nationwide COVID19 vaccination drive was launched by the Prime
Minister on 16th January 2021.
The Union Health Minister appealed to all
the doctors, nurses, paramedic workers, and the frontline workers like the
anganwadi workers, police personnel, revenue officials etc. “I humbly and
strongly appeal to all healthcare and frontline workers to come forward to take
the vaccine.Let us all work together to fight against COVID-19. The world is
not free of the disease. It is only with our collective effort that we shall
overcome this public health challenge.”
Hailing the achievement as a significant
milestone in the fight against the global pandemic, Dr. Harsh Vardhan noted
that, “India tookonly 34 days to achieve the landmark feat of 1,01,88,007 vaccinations, the
second fastest in the world.We have organized more than 2.11 lakh sessions
(2,11,462 sessions);62,60,242healthcareworkers (HCWs) have got the 1st dose;
6,10,899 HCWs have been given the 2nd doseand 33,16,866 frontline workers
(FLWs) havebeen given the 1st dose.”
Speaking on the two vaccines (COVAXIN and
COVISHIELD) that have made this feat possible, he said, “The two COVID Vaccines
approved by the country’s Drugs Controller have been tested and certified for
their safety and immunogenicity and are completely safe. Only 40 cases of hospitalizations
from Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) till date have been
reported which comprisesonly 0.0004% of total vaccinations. Till now,
there have been no serious/severe AEFI and no death has been attributed to the
vaccines. The 32 deathsreported till date is a mere0.0003% of total
vaccinations with post-mortem reports vindicating that these are not related to
vaccination.”
Dr Harsh Vardhan thereafter detailed the
trajectory of the vaccination in the country. The 2nddose
of COVID19 vaccination started on 13th February, 2021 for those beneficiaries who have
completed 28 days after receipt of the 1st dose. Vaccination of the FLWs
started on 2nd Feb 2021.
The States/UTs have been instructed to schedule all HCWs
who have been registered on the CO-Win app for vaccination at least once by
20th February 2021 and through mop-up rounds for left-out HCWs by 25th February
2021. Similarly, all registeredFLWS are to be scheduled for vaccination at
least once by 1st March 2021 and through mop-up for left-out FLWs by 6th
March 2021.
The Minister highlighted how the medical
community is disproportionately at risk of infection from COVID-19 which has
prompted their prioritization for vaccination: “COVID-19 created immense
uncertainties in lives of all people across all communities– developed and
underdeveloped, poor and rich, were all affected alike; but the community that
it put most at risk is the medical fraternity – our doctors and nurses,
paramedics, front line workers who have been most exposed to the risk due to
their professional commitment in treatment, surveillance and containment
activities. Nursing professionals are a critical resource for successful
functioning of the health system as they are involved in direct care of the
patients. Many health workers who got exposed to the disease while providing
dedicated care to the COVID-19 patients. Due to this they have been first to be
prioritized for COVID-19 vaccination so that they are protected from the
disease and from developing any complications, if exposed.”
Dr Harsh Vardhan reiterated that “The
nation is indebted and profoundly grateful to the medical fraternity that has
relentlessly worked with unhindered commitment and consistency to follow their
professional ethics with complete integrity”. He added that “It is because of
your selfless duty and commitment that
Warning of some vested campaigns that are
not founded on facts, he said“The COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing vaccination
drive is unfortunately affected by misinformation, rumours and negative
messages. Factually incorrect information like infertility due to the vaccine,
adverse effects if alcohol is consumed after vaccination etc., have come up
quite prominently as few misconceptions, which need to be countered and nipped
in the bud. As more than 1 crore doses have been administered successfully and
safely, it is a testimony in itself to the safety of the vaccines. Let us not
fall prey to these rumours.”
