(c) As  per  the  Health  Management  Information  System  (HMIS) data  for  the year  2016 - 17, around  2.35  crore  children  were  vaccinated with first  dose  of measles, which implies that 88% of the targeted childr en are covered. As per the concurrent monitoring data for the year 2016 - 17,  the  major  reasons for children missing the vaccines are fear of Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEF refusal  for  vaccination,  misinformation  that  vaccine  causes  impotency, lack  of awareness, child travelling on day of vaccination and operational gaps etc.
