Immunize India is an SMS text-based vaccination reminder service program. It is available nationally, free of cost. Parents can register their child by sending an SMS. Immunize India Charities conceived the program.
In 2014, Immunize India Charities launched the reminder service, jointly with the Indian Academy of Paediatrics.  
In India, only 65% of children between 12–23 months of age received all recommended vaccines on time (2013). An important reason is parents often forget to vaccinate the child on time or even miss it which results in preventable morbidity and mortality.
