Coordination committees have been formed in all city corporations to ensure the smooth execution of the upcoming Typhoid Vaccination Campaign-2025.
Each 10-member committee will be chaired by the city mayor or administrator, with the chief health officer serving as member secretary.
The committees will be responsible for overseeing awareness drives, managing logistics, supervising vaccination centers and engaging local communities.
Scheduled to begin on October 12, the 18-day campaign aims to vaccinate approximately five crore children.
School-going children under the age of 15 will receive the vaccine at their respective educational institu-tions, while out-of-school children aged 9 months to under 15 years will be vaccinated at designated EPI centers nationwide.
Health authorities expect the campaign to substantially reduce typhoid-related illnesses and child mortali-ty, while further strengthening the country’s overall immunization coverage.
