MISSION INDRADHANUSH.pptx (INTESTIFIED MISSION INDRADHANUSH)

Mission Indradhanush was launched by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW), Government of India on 25th December, 2014.
Objectives: To ensure that all children under the age of 2 years as well as pregnant women are fully immunized with seven vaccine preventable diseases.
Diptheria
Pertusis
Tetanus
Tuberculosis
Polio
Hepatitis B
Measles
In addition, JE and Hib vaccine are also provided in selected states.
For the first phase, 201 high focus districts across 28 states in the country that have the peak number of partially immunized and unimmunized children, were identified by the Government.
There were total of four rounds in the first phase of the mission.
The first round of the first phase was started from 7th April, 2015 and continued for more than a week.
Further, second, third and fourth rounds were held for more than a week in the month of May, June and July starting from 7th of each month.
The first phase of this mission was very successful.
Union Health Minister launched phase-2 of Mission Indradhanush in 352 districts targeting full immunization.
The second phase of Mission Indradhanush started from 7th October, 2015. The second, third and fourth rounds of this phase started from 7th November, 7th December 2015 and 7th January 2016.
Mission Indradhanush was a nationwide intensified RI drive for ensuring high coverage throughout the country and was conducted between March and June 2015 in the country, with focus on 201 high focus districts.
The two main components of this mission were:
Operational planning
Communication planning
IMI: MI was launched initially in 2017, and subsequent versions like IMI 2.0 and IMI 3.0 continued and expanded the strategy to consolidate immunization gains, emphasizing sustainability and integration into routine immunization programs.
The aim of this programme is to achieve full immunization coverage (targeting 90%) in a shorter time frame by focusing on hard-to-reach, high-risk, and vulnerable populations, including urban slums.
Concentrated focus on urban areas, which were less emphasized in the earlier phases of Mission Indradhanush.
Targeting districts with low immunization coverage, areas with vacant sub-centers, villages missing multiple immunization sessions, and high-risk zones.

2. Introduction Mission Indradhanush was launched by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW), Government of India on 25th December, 2014. Objectives: To ensure that all children under the age of 2 years as well as pregnant women are fully immunized with seven vaccine preventable diseases. Diptheria Pertusis Tetanus Tuberculosis Polio Hepatitis B Measles In addition, JE and Hib vaccine are also provided in selected states.

3. FIRST PHASE For the first phase, 201 high focus districts across 28 states in the country that have the peak number of partially immunized and unimmunized children, were identified by the Government. There were total of four rounds in the first phase of the mission. The first round of the first phase was started from 7th April, 2015 and continued for more than a week. Further, second, third and fourth rounds were held for more than a week in the month of May, June and July starting from 7th of each month. The first phase of this mission was very successful.

4. SECOND PHASE Union Health Minister launched phase-2 of Mission Indradhanush in 352 districts targeting full immunization. The second phase of Mission Indradhanush started from 7th October, 2015 . The second, third and fourth rounds of this phase started from 7th November, 7th December 2015 and 7th January 2016.

5. STRATEGY FOR MI Mission Indradhanush was a nationwide intensified RI drive for ensuring high coverage throughout the country and was conducted between March and June 2015 in the country, with focus on 201 high focus districts. The two main components of this mission were: Operational planning Communication planning

6. OPERATIONAL PLANNING Fixed and outreach session Medical officer in charge for the block/urban planning unit conducted a detailed planning for the additional sessions to be conducted in the planning unit. Provision for vaccination should be made at health posts, primary health centers (PHCs) and district hospital. Sites for vaccination In urban areas, urban health posts, post-partum (PP) centers, family welfare centers or local leader's premises in urban slums can also be used as immunization sites. For other areas, primary schools, anganwadi centers, private dispensaries, nongovernmental organization (NGO) sites or any other locations that are easily accessible and acceptable to the community can be used as immunization sites.

7. Availability of human resources The availability of human resources in the Mission Indradhanush strategy is ensured primarily through the involvement of Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANMs) in the district. All ANMs are tasked with conducting Mission Indradhanush sessions for 7 working days in addition to their routine immunization duties. Human resource availability in Mission Indradhanush is addressed by fully engaging all ANMs for extra session days, coordinating additional staff from neighboring areas, hiring and training hired vaccinators when needed, and involving retired health workers and NGOs to ensure comprehensive coverage and outreach to underserved populations. Timing The activities were conducted from 9 am to 4 pm. However, sessions were planned based on availability of the targeted population to maximize the benefits achieved. Team A team comprised one vaccinator and up to two mobilizers (at least one from local mohallas/locality). An additional vaccinator was included in the team if the estimated injection load was more than 60-70.

8. Mobile sessions Mobile sessions were planned at places where routine immunization coverage was weak and the small number of beneficiaries does not warrant an independent session. These areas include periurban areas, scattered slums, brick kilns and construction sites. For these sessions, alternate means such as mobile vans should be planned in the attached format. It is important to ensure that the vials of BCG, measles and JE vaccines that are reconstituted at one site should not be used at the next site.

9. COMMUNICATION PLANNING Developing strategic communication plans at national, state, district, and block levels to ensure coordinated messaging and activities. Using media channels such as TV, radio, newspapers, and SMS campaigns combined with interpersonal communication and social mobilization through schools, youth networks, religious leaders, local political figures, and NGOs. Capacity building for health officials, frontline workers, and media spokespersons in communication skills and crisis management related to immunization. Advocacy efforts targeting political leaders, professional bodies (e.g., Indian Medical Association, Indian Academy of Pediatrics), and community influencers. Monitoring and concurrent evaluation of communication interventions to adjust and improve strategies.

10. INTENSIFIED MISSION INDRADHANUSH 2.0 MI was launched initially in 2017, and subsequent versions like IMI 2.0 and IMI 3.0 continued and expanded the strategy to consolidate immunization gains, emphasizing sustainability and integration into routine immunization programs. The aim of this programme is to achieve full immunization coverage (targeting 90%) in a shorter time frame by focusing on hard-to-reach, high-risk, and vulnerable populations, including urban slums. Concentrated focus on urban areas, which were less emphasized in the earlier phases of Mission Indradhanush. Targeting districts with low immunization coverage, areas with vacant sub-centers, villages missing multiple immunization sessions, and high-risk zones.
