Vaccine Awareness Campaign

Indian National Young Academy of Sciences (INYAS) is proud to launch a nationwide vaccine awareness campaign in light of the pressing need to carry out large scale immunization and manage the apprehensions against the vaccines in common public. We believe as a young body of responsible scientists and engineers; it is our duty to participate in making people aware about the benefits of immunization through vaccine and abolish the myths which are deterring people from taking the shots.

INYAS has planned this campaign through a multi-pronged approach.

  1. Release of documents containing myths and facts about vaccines in 11 languages including Hindi and English. Click here to view them .

  2. Launch of COVAC NEWS mobile application made by INYAS for ensuring information at the fingertips.
