GURUGRAM: This September, Haryana will administer pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) for pneumonia to children below the age of one yr across the state. Health department officials of each and every district underwent training for the same remaining week.
The vaccines will probably be administered at 6 weeks, 14 weeks and nine months for kids, as in line with the regimen immunisation time table. Other vaccines which will probably be given include vaccine for diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus (DPT), Rotavirus (to give protection to towards infections which lead to serious diarrhea), and pentavalent vaccines which offer protection to towards many infections.
The civil surgeon, immunisation officer, city nodal officer and a senior medical officer from each and every district underwent training. They will in turn educate health employees who will carry out the vaccination.
According to the district immunisation officer Dr M P Singh, prevention towards pneumonia is at this time achieved partially throughout the pentavalent vaccine and the measles vaccine. However, the government’s decision to subsidize the vaccine, which is to be had in non-public hospitals in the associated fee range of Rs 3,000 to Rs five,000, will finally be carried out.
