Learning from successful Polio Abhiyaan:
On the occasion, Dr. Harsh Vardhan recalled his experience with the Polio Abhiyaan which was transformed into a social movement with the help of people’s participation and the contribution and support of many film industry professionals.
Informing on the same, he added that the Pulse Polio Programme through its engaging and targeted IEC (Information, education, and communication) and other outreach programmes, encouraged the last mile mothers to get their children immunized.
The same effort must be put to contain COVID by publicizing COVID- Appropriate behaviour through caller tunes and other mediums throughout the lockdown and other phases of unlocking.
