As the vaccination drive progresses in the newly added districts, the Health department remains committed to achieving high coverage rates to maximize the impact of the JE vaccine. Through strategic outreach efforts and community engagement, Tamil Nadu continues to strengthen its defenses against infectious diseases, prioritizing the health and safety of its youngest residents.
