Regular immunisation badly hit during pandemic, said Neeraj Jain, Country Director India, PATH on Swasth Bharat, Sampann Bharat Telethon

Immunisation is clearly one of the most cost-effective interventions when it comes to return on investment from economic perspective. I think we have achieved a lot over the last many years - reduced Under Five Mortality Rate, maternal mortality but still a lot needs to be done. We have introduced a lot new vaccines in regular immunisation like rotavirus, pneumococcal. We have been the pharmacy of the world. We have seen immunisation take a huge hit during pandemic. for future generations, absolutely important for routine immunisation programmes to work continuously.
