Government is all set to roll out the U-WIN portal where pregnant women and children will be able to track their vaccination routines and more. Published: July 15, 2024 7:07 PM IST By Edited by The U-WIN portal, a replication of the Covid-19 vaccine management system Co-WIN, is set for a nationwide launch likely by the end of August, aiming to maintain an electronic registry of routine immunisations, official sources said. Currently, U-WIN is in pilot mode across all states and Union Territories, except for West Bengal, which is yet to start uploading data, the sources told PTI, adding that it is still under consideration in the state.
The U-WIN platform captures every vaccination event for pregnant women and children under the Universal Immunization Programme (UIP). Minister of Finance Nirmala Sitharaman had announced in the interim Budget for 2024-2025 that U-WIN, along with intensified efforts under Mission Indradhanush, will be rolled out nationwide for managing immunisation. “The U-WIN will ensure timely administration of vaccine doses by digitally recording every vaccination event under the Universal Immunisation Programme among all pregnant women and children aged 0-5 years,” an official told PTI.
“The portal will target 2.9 crore pregnant women and 2.6 crore infants (0-1 years) annually by providing 11 vaccines against 12 vaccine preventable diseases — diphtheria, measles, rubella, and tetanus through more than 1.
2 crore vaccination sessions across the country.
