The Meghalaya Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and The MOMENTUM Routine Immunization Transformation and Equity Project organized a State Media Sensitization Workshop on Intensified Mission Indradhanush 5.0 (IMI 5.0). The workshop, attended by Ramkumar S, IAS Mission Director NHM and Dr. Pradeep Haldar, Senior Strategic Advisor, highlighted the importance of vaccinating eligible children and enhancing immunity. The event involved prominent media representatives, health officials, and community stakeholders, united in supporting the success of IMI 5.0.

The state trains unvaccinated individuals, prioritizing children aged 0-5 years who have not received vaccines. The initiative aims to provide life-saving vaccinations and contribute to nationwide Measles & Rubella elimination.
Ramkumar S, IAS Mission Director NHM said, “Through the joint efforts of The all immunization partners, our healthcare teams, and the support of our community, we are resolute in making a lasting difference in the health and well-being of our children and building a stronger, healthier Meghalaya.’’ Further, Dr Pradeep Haldar, Senior Strategic Advisor, John Snow India, added, “By forging strong partnerships among healthcare providers, the media, and the community, we are confident in overcoming vaccine hesitancy and creating a healthier, disease-free society”.
