Speaking at a programme in the district headquarters, the stakeholders said that the 'vaccination coverage' had declined recently and further warned that the children could contract diseases.
District Health Office Chief Ramashankar Deep said that the local body and the stakeholders should work actively to increase the 'vaccination coverage'.
He opined that awareness programmes regarding vaccination should be conducted in the district.
Underscoring the role of vaccination in reducing the Infant Mortality Rate, the programme stressed on improving the effectiveness of vaccination.
