New Delhi: The government plans to roll out the ‘U-Win’ portal for maintaining an electronic registry of routine immunizations. This would be on the lines of Co-Win which was used during Covid. U-Win was launched on January 11 in 65 districts across the country.
The U-Win program is designed to digitize the Universal immunizations Programmed (UIP). Currently it is run in a pilot mode in two districts of each state and Union Territory
The platform will be used to register and vaccinate every pregnant woman, record her delivery outcome, register every newborn delivery, administer birth doses and all vaccination events thereafter in the life cycle.
Vaccination records under UIP are presently being maintained manually . U-Win will help do away with the hassle of keeping a physical record. It will also enable the digitization of session planning, and updating vaccination status on a real-time basis. Presently, multiple vaccines and doses lead to difficulty in monitoring.
The system is also plagued by the absence of a mechanism of individual tracking. There is also lack of awareness among beneficiaries about sessions, locations and dates, especially in urban areas and iniquity in immunizations coverage in states/UTs. Another major issue is that immunizations at private health facilities is not recorded.
There will be digital registrations of all pregnant women and newborns for individualized tracking for vaccination, reminders for upcoming doses and follow-up of dropouts.
