Maharashtra Forms State and Local Task Forces to Strengthen Immunisation Programme

Maharashtra has established a State Vaccination Task Force, comprising at least 29 members led by the health department's administrative head, to enhance its immunisation programme. Separate district-level and municipal task forces, chaired by collectors and civic commissioners respectively, have also been formed to address local challenges. The state body will review immunisation efforts, assess high-risk areas, monitor resource gaps, and ensure coordination among government departments to improve child vaccination coverage as per central guidelines.
