It serves as a National repository of immunization services on a single digital platform with name-based tracking and utilized for efficient planning of immunization sessions and as well all vaccination services. These children are digitally mapped on the portal for regular follow-ups with SMS alerts for ensuring their due doses. List of beneficiaries who do not turn up is automatically generated for follow-up to ensure necessary vaccination in another session. This is an ongoing and continuous process of mapping and identification under immunization. The details of immunization sessions of said States and districts including Bulandshahar for last three years in UWIN is given in Annexure I.
