The Greater Bengaluru Authority has commenced a crucial 10-day Measles-Rubella (MR) vaccination drive, set to conclude on January 31. This extensive public health initiative aims to safeguard young children, specifically those aged between 9 and 24 months, against these highly contagious viral diseases. The campaign is being implemented across an impressive network of over 1,100 vaccination centres and 3,005 migrant sites throughout the city, ensuring broad coverage, particularly in high-risk areas, slums, and locations previously reporting measles cases. Under this drive, children aged 9 to 11 months are receiving their first dose of the Measles-Rubella (MR-1) vaccine, while children between 16 and 24 months are being administered the second dose (MR-2). The initiative also encourages parents of children up to five years who may have experienced delays in their vaccination schedule to visit their nearest Urban Primary Health Centres (UPHCs) to ensure their children receive the necessary immunisations. The drive is a significant component of the Indian government's ongoing commitment to eliminating measles and rubella nationwide, with a target set for 2026. Similar campaigns have been a part of the Universal Immunization Programme since 2017, when the MR vaccine was first introduced in routine immunisation in a phased manner across several states, including Karnataka. This targeted campaign in Bengaluru underscores the continuous efforts to achieve high immunisation coverage and protect children from vaccine-preventable diseases.
