Which one of the following vaccines is NOT included in Mission Indradhanush?

The correct answer is
MMR

The question asks to identify the vaccine that is NOT included in India's Mission Indradhanush program.

Mission Indradhanush Vaccine Coverage

Mission Indradhanush is a national immunization initiative aimed at fully immunizing all children under two years of age and all pregnant women against vaccine-preventable diseases. The vaccines typically included are:

  • BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin)
  • OPV (Oral Polio Vaccine)
  • DPT (Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus)
  • Hepatitis B
  • Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b)
  • IPV (Inactivated Polio Vaccine)
  • Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV)
  • Rotavirus Vaccine
  • Measles, Rubella (MR)
  • Japanese Encephalitis (JE)
  • Td (Tetanus and Diphtheria) or TT (Tetanus Toxoid) for pregnant women

Identifying the Excluded Vaccine

Comparing the options provided with the standard Mission Indradhanush vaccine list:

  • BCG: Included.
  • OPV: Included.
  • DPT: Included.
  • MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella): While Measles and Rubella (MR) vaccines are included, the full MMR vaccine (including Mumps) is generally NOT a standard part of the primary Mission Indradhanush schedule. The focus is on MR vaccine.

Therefore, the MMR vaccine is the one NOT typically included in the core Mission Indradhanush vaccine list.
