-:oOo:-
Vide reference 1st cited, the Government of India has introduced Measles –
Rubella Vaccine in a phased manner across the country. In the 1st phase in Karnataka,
Tamil Nadu, Goa, Pondicherry and Lakshadweep, more than 3.3 Crore children in the
age group of 9months-15years were successfully immunized. In the second phase the
Government of India has selected 8 States including Telangana.
2) The Measles-Rubella campaign is one of the massive public health activity
targeting the children of age of 9 months to 15 years. The Measles-Rubella campaign
will be conducted from 17th August 2017. This will be followed up by Routine
Immunization replacing the currently given measles vaccine and will rapidly build up
immunity for both measles and rubella and reduce the measles and rubella
transmission. Measles immunization reduces under–five children deaths and Rubella
immunisation controls congenital Rubella syndrome (CRS). With the combination of
Measles-Rubella vaccine, the disabilities will be reduced to a great extent among
children.
3) The Measles-Rubella vaccination will be provided through sites at schools and
outreach session sites. The period of campaign is for 5 weeks starting from 17th August
2017.
4) In view of the Public Health importance attached to this campaign, the
Government hereby order that all schools in the state both public and private schools
shall participate in the vaccination campaign and the Head Masters of the Government
Schools and the management of the Private schools shall ensure the presence of 100%
children during the campaign to enable the health staff to immunize all children. It is
further ordered that all Principals/Head Masters of Government and Private schools
shall conduct the Parent-Teacher meetings and sensitise the parents about the benefits
of this vaccine.
