Indian Govt. to Launch Vaccine Vans 'Teeka Express'

Inspired by the success of door-to-door polio vaccination drive, Indian Union Health Ministry plans to soon start an ambitious Teeka Express, a mobile vaccine van, which will cover 50 Indian districts in the first phase.

The Teeka Express will deliver all vaccines that are part of the national immunization program and will not only be a logistical aid but also the logo and overall look of the van designed by the UNICEF, the ministry hopes, will give the much needed brand value to the drive. It will also collect immunization data — the first step in generating real time data that the Prime Minister has termed as a limitation in health planning.
