  Impact of Measles and Rubella vaccination on population immunity in India (IMVRI study): After elimination of Polio, the Govt. of India is now committed to eradicating Measles, control Rubella as well as Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS), by 2020. To achieve this objective, the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has launched mass vaccination campaigns with the Measles-Rubella (MR) vaccine. This IMRVI study is a collaborative project between ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research) and JHU (Johns Hopkins University) to estimate age-specific population immunity to measles and rubella viruses in India. The serosurveys will be conducted in nine states of the country in selected districts. In this project, I am working as a site coordinator in Uttar Pradesh, where the study is conducted in Kanpur Nagar district. Show less
