To ensure a seamless and efficient vaccination process, all vaccinations will be administered and recorded online through the U-Win portal, enabling beneficiaries to obtain e-certification for their immunizations.
During the vaccination process, both the pre-registration of past vaccines and the administration of current vaccines will be carried out on the U-Win portal.
In order to achieve 100 percent vaccination coverage among all beneficiaries, including children who have dropped out and pregnant women, session sites have been established in all blocks and headquarters across the district. These sites will facilitate the vaccination process and ensure that no individual is left behind in the campaign against preventable diseases.
Through this campaign, the aim is to achieve comprehensive vaccination coverage and eliminate various diseases by administering all types of vaccines.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Commissioner conducted the inspection of the Radiology Department and other infrastructure facilities, underscoring the administration’s commitment towards providing quality healthcare services alongside the vaccination campaign.
