Subject: BIG CATCH-UP (BCU) 1-31 OCTOBER 2024 IN PUNJAB
With reference to the Director Health Services (EPI), Punjab Lahore letter No.11600-11680/EPI, dated 24.09.2024 on the subject cited above.
It is stated that the EPI Punjab has planned the Big Catch-Up activity in all the Districts of the Punjab from October 1-31/2024. The Big Catch-Up (BCU) is a global initiative launched in April 2023 to close immunization gaps caused by the backsliding of Immunization coverage during the COVID-19 pandemic, restore global immunization levels, and strengthen immunization system, so that Catch-up activities become an integral part of immunization program. This catch-up initiative will be instrumental in tracking zero dose and defaulter children under 05 Years. The goal of the BCU is to reach and vaccinate all un-vaccinated and under-vaccinated children.
Therefore, you are requested to issue directions to all Government Schools as well as Private Schools of Vehari District to highlight importance and awareness of routine vaccination under 05 Years of children (those who have missed their routine antigen) in assembly sessions so that these children may cover during this BCU activity.
Your cooperation in this regard will be highly appreciated.
