The fourth phase of Mission Indradhanush began in Malappuram on Monday with the objective of achieving total immunisation cover for the district. All children below the age of two who are unimmunised or partially immunised are being covered under the special drive.
Two years of fighting COVID-19 had taken the focus off the critical immunisation procedure in the district. District Medical Officer R. Renuka said the department was hopeful of addressing that failure in three months. “We will be dedicating seven days every month to reach out to the unimmunised and partially immunised children in the district. Within three months, we hope to cover the entire missing population,” said Dr. Renuka.
