The Ministry informed Parliament that Jammu and Kashmir reported immunisation coverage above 100 per cent for several indicators over the past four years, including Full Immunisation Coverage (FIC), Oral Polio Vaccine third dose (OPV3), Pentavalent-3 and Measles-Rubella first dose.
For the current financial year (April-June 2026), Jammu and Kashmir has recorded 105.6 per cent Full Immunisation Coverage, 105.5 per cent Measles-Rubella first dose, 94.6 per cent Pentavalent-3, 94.4 per cent OPV3 and 93 per cent BCG coverage.
The government clarified that immunisation coverage exceeding 100 per cent is attributed to interstate migration of beneficiaries, as reported by States and Union Territories.
The Minister said Mission Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0 provides six core services through Anganwadi Centres—supplementary nutrition, pre-school non-formal education, nutrition and health education, immunisation, health check-ups and referral services.
Immunisation, health check-ups and referral services are delivered through the National Health Mission and the public health system.
