500 children from six
different Marvel Builders’ construction sites participated in the vaccination
campaign that Asha-Kiran carried out along with Marvel Builders, the Builders’
Association and Pune Municipal Corporation.
250 of the children
who got immunized came from five Day Care Centers that Asha-Kiran manages at said
construction sites. The children, aged 0 to 14, were vaccinated according to their
age and previous health records. Their mothers received ample information on
the importance of vaccines at the various stages of a child’s life, together
with an immunization card with clear explanations of the timetable to follow to
complete the full immunization schedule.
Parents who work at
the construction sites where Asha-Kiran operates the Day Care Centers will
receive support and special monitoring with regard to vaccinations and consultations
at the health center.
