Despite mixed responses from various quarters, many schools have managed to secure 100% vaccination in the recent Measles-Rubella Vaccination Campaign (M-RVC).
This is the result of co-operation from both the school authorities as well as the parents, stated a press release from district programme officer RCC/UIP, Dr. Rebecca Y. Sema.
According to the press release, as on October 26, Dimapur district has achieved 72% vaccination coverage.
Another round of school revisits from October 27 has been scheduled to vaccinate students who were missed out during the initial visit. The great turnout and huge response of the community during the outreach activities has further assured the department that this revisit to schools will bring forward more students and parents to avail the opportunity, Dr. Rebecca said.
