Kalaburagi Deputy Commissioner Fauzia Tarannum has appealed to all mothers not to believe in hearsy and myths associated with vaccination under Intensified Mission Indradhanush 5.0 (IMI 5.0), a campaign to vaccinate children and pregnant women across the State.
She was addressing a gathering after launching Mission Indradhanush 5.0 vaccination campaign organised by the district administration, the Zilla Panchayat and the District Health and family Welfare Department at Shivaji Nagar Primary Health Centre here on Monday.
Ms. Tarannum said that though there have been false claims about adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccine, yet people have been convinced of the need to get vaccinated. The medicine field has recently witnessed breathtaking unparalleled advancements in scientific research so that the vaccine met the must-have criteria for safety and efficacy. She said that the decisions of parents regarding immunisation of their children are very important to improve immunisation rate.
