More than one million parents with children less than 12 years old created history by registering in the world’s largest immunization programme alert on the eve of ‘WHO Immunization Week’ to close the immunization gap in the country.

With the help of an SMS message, parents should send their child’s name and date of birth to ‘national short code 566778’ so that they receive SMS alerts until the child attains 12 years. This vaccination registration programme is meant to eradicate certain dreadful diseases that can be preventable with victimization, including pneumonia, diarrhea, diphtheria, pertussis, tuberculosis, measles and tetanus. The SMS registration is at no cost incurring to the user.
