Princis still unsure of parents' desire to get vaccinated against rubella | Nagpur News

Nagpur: The mbad immunization program against rubella and measles in schools starting Nov. 27, CBSE schools were convened for a special meeting with government officials on Wednesday to refine the process. The directors, whose representative attended the meeting, told YOU that they would leave everything to parents whether or not they wished their wards to be vaccinated.

A CBSE director said, "This is a wonderful initiative of the government, but I have the responsibility to act only after having the consent of the parents, because it concerns the health of their child. We will send a flyer to all parents to inform them of the vaccination campaign. If they want to withdraw because their children have already been vaccinated, a proof must be presented for the same thing. "

Another principal is in agreement. "In CBSE schools, parents are extremely active and I can foresee a major problem if they are not given the opportunity to withdraw from the vaccination campaign. We will ask them to submit a medical certificate from their pediatrician that clearly states that the child has been vaccinated against rubella and measles and that he does not need another dose. said the principal.

Dr. Mohd Sajid, who oversees the campaign on behalf of the World Health Organization (WHO), said that it was a large-scale operation, just over 10 lakh students being covered. Dr. Sajid said, "We collect data on pre-primary schools. This is a big challenge as these institutes are not required to register with the Department of Education. According to a rough estimate, nearly 700 such institutes operate in the district. We will have to find each of them by sweeping every street in the city. "

He added that during the first phase, they would go to schools and cover them all, regardless of the composition of the board of directors or geographical issues.
