Mission Indradhanush Eligibility Criteria

Any children under the age of two who are partially or never have been immunized are eligible under the Mission Indradhanush scheme.  

How does Mission Indradhanush Operates : Strategy

There are four elements on which Mission Indradhanush operates which are:  

1. Planning and Implementation - During routine immunisation sessions, ensure that there are enough vaccines and providers on hand.  Provide immunisations to children who have not yet received them on construction sites, nomadic sites, urban slums, brick kilns, and difficult-to-reach locations. 
2. Social Mobilization - Engage in effective communication and social mobilisation to increase awareness and demand for immunisation services. Increase community participation in the routine immunisation program by using mass media, middle media, interpersonal communication (IPC), school and youth networks, and companies.      
3. Training Healthcare workers - To ensure high-quality vaccination services, give health professionals and officials the appropriate training in routine immunization activities.  
4. Establishing accountability - Hold district administrations and healthcare systems responsible for executing district task forces to ensure immunisation for all target populations. Furthermore, ensuring the use of concurrent session monitoring data to quickly resolve any implementation gaps.   

Mission Indradhanush's mass immunisation initiatives have proven to be highly effective. The Union Health Ministry's data reveals an 83% coverage rate as of November 2018. The goal was to achieve 90% by December 2019.
