Dear Parent,

Greetings from Lakshya International School

We are glad to inform you that Lakshya is conducting a Health Camp (in August, 2017) organized by Govt. of A.P. where

all children aged between 9 months and less than 15 years will be given a single shot of MR vaccination irrespective

of their previous measles/rubella vaccination status or measles/rubella disease status.

  • MMR vaccine is much safer than getting measles, mumps or rubella. The vaccination is mandatory for all the students fromNursery to Grade IX.
The government is committed to eradicating measles and rubella from the country. In this nationwide drive, the ministry will cover 41 crore children in the age group of 9 months to 15 years”.
  • MMR vaccine will be provided free of cost across the states from session sites at schools as well as health facilities and outreach session sites.

( Measles is a deadly disease and one of the main causes behind child mortality in the country. Globally, in 2015, measles killed an estimated 1,34,200 kids, mostly under the age of five years. In India, it killed 49,200 children.

Rubella is generally a mild infection, but has serious consequences if infection occurs in pregnant women, causing congenital rubella syndrome (CRS), which is a cause of public health concern.)

We will let you know the exact date of vaccination soon through SMS & School Diary.
Please fill up the consent form given below and submit to the respective class teachers positively by tomorrow.

Best Wishes
