Uttar Pradesh To Prepone The Japanese Encephalitis Immunisation Drive

The Uttar Pradesh government has decided to prepone the Japanese Encephalitis immunisation drive. This has caused displeasure among the health experts in the centre// as they feel that it might not be he right time and the data may need further analysis.

Which would mean that the drive would start just three days after their arrival. The remaining 13.5 million doses are likely to be imported by mid-June.

The Uttar Pradesh Government, have announced that they would be going ahead with the campaign in the districts of Gorakpur, Maharajgunj, Dewdia, Kushinagar and half of Lakhinpur Kheri. They also announced that the other six districts are likely to have the drive in June.

Earlier the health ministry had planned to conduct the campaign simultaneously in 11 highly endemic districts, seven in UP, two in Assam, and one each in Karnataka and West Bengal, in June. Officials announced that the Chinese vaccine (SA-14-14-2) was found to be safe and having an efficacy between 88 and 99 per cent on single dose even by the WHO's Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety during its June meeting last year and also from a high-level committee of the Indian Council for Medical Research, but some reports are still awaited.

They felt that any single loophole might lead to doubts over the entire prog
