  1. National Vaccination Day 2021 History: It was on March 16, 1995, when the day was first celebrated officially after the Pulse Polio Immunisation programme became operational http://drvikasgoswami.com/

  2. What is Vaccination and Immunization? People often use the two words, vaccination and immunization, interchangeably. But there is a fundamental difference between the two. While vaccination is the act of giving or administering the vaccine, immunization refers to becoming immune to certain diseases after taking the vaccine shot. Vaccination and immunization are very important in a country's basic health care. Timely vaccination prevents two to three million deaths every year from preventable diseases, according to experts. http://drvikasgoswami.com/

  3. What are Vaccines and How do They Work? • According to the World Health Organization (WHO), "Vaccines contain weakened or inactive parts of a particular organism (antigen) that triggers an immune response within the body." When a person receives the vaccine shot, he or she is "very likely to be protected against the targeted disease". But the WHO says, "not everyone can be vaccinated" as they may have "underlying health conditions that weaken their immune systems http://drvikasgoswami.com/

  4. Significance & Objectives • On National Vaccination Day, the Government of India seeks to raise awareness about the necessity of immunisation against not just the deadly Poliovirus, but every major viral disease that we do not have natural immunity against. The major vaccines administered in India to children up to 5 years of age are Tetanus, Measles, Rubella, Tuberculosis, Hepatitis-B, Meningitis, Pneumonia, Diptheria, and Pertussis.
