Chandigarh, November 18, 2018: 39,742 children were immunized on day one of Sub National Immunization Round (SNID) Polio November 2018. Sub-National Immunization Round (SNID) is scheduled in U.T. Chandigarh on 18th and 19th November 2018.

The difference between National Immunization Day (NID) and Sub National Immunization Day (SNID) is that the NID is a three days campaign where day one is dedicated for booth activity and rest two days are dedicated for House – to – House activity while the SNID is a two days House – to – House activity which is being conducted to focus on High Risk areas/ vulnerable areas only. 

In the Sub National Immunization Round (SNID), 80 Supervisors monitored the activity for which 600 teams (consisting of 2 members in a team) of vaccinators were deployed to visit House – to – House. Teams are fully geared up to vaccinate all the children in 0-5 Years of age group in High Risk Areas along with the children on the roads, streets  etc. The monitoring was done under the supervision of Director Health & Family Welfare cum Mission Director – NHM, Dr. G. Dewan and other officials.

Teams visited the vulnerable areas like Khuda Lahora, Khuda Jassu, Sarangpur, Resettlement Colony Dhanas, Kaimbwala, Maloya, Daddumajra, Madrasi Colony, Indira Colony, Bapudham, Mauli Village, Vikas Nagar, Manimajra, Colony no 4, Faidan, Hallomajra, Ramdarbar, Attawa, Palsora, Behlana, Raipur Khurd, Kajheri, Kishangarh, Dariya, Tin colony, Janta Colony, Bhagwanpura, Citco, Shastri Nagar and all the construction sites to immunize the kids with oral pulse polio drops and the approximate target is of 72,405 children which is to be covered in two days.  

An innovative project “TAARE ZAMEEN PAR-A NIGHT VIGIL”, was initiated in January, 2018 NID Pulse Polio Round by the Health Department to cover those children which are accompanied by the parents during the day and come to halt at the various odd points of the city. To carry out this activity, 5 teams will be deputed from 8 pm to 11 pm on November 18th and will move around in different parts of the city where the rag pickers/ beggars etc tend to settle down with their children in night hours.

To maintain the polio free status with the 100% polio immunization, the Health Department appeals all residents of the city to co-operate and get all children in the age group 0- 5 years immunized against Polio during this two day SNID Campaign.
