Administers one lakh free vaccines in nationwide vaccination camps
Indian Immunologicals Limited (IIL) organised a nationwide free vaccination camp against zoonotic diseases on account of World Zoonosis Day 2022. Diseases that transmit from animals to human beings are called Zoonotic diseases. World Zoonosis Day is celebrated annually on July 6 to honour the first immunisation against a zoonotic illness. It holds substantial significance in educating and raising awareness about zoonotic diseases.
Indian Immunologicals has administered one lakh doses of Raksharab and Starvac R (Anti-rabies vaccines of IIL) free of cost, in an endeavour to realise its vision of ‘One health’, a collaborative effort towards optimal health for humans and animals through its innovative healthcare products.
In their fight against the spread of such zoonotic viruses, IIL’s vaccination camp was escalated to 100 cities across the country through veterinary dispensaries, veterinary colleges and NGOs.
Speaking on World Zoonosis Day, Dr K Anand Kumar, MD, ILL said, “It is the commitment of IIL as a truly One Health company to bring cost-effective vaccines in both animal and human health. Through our “Anti-Rabies vaccine drive”, we aim to spread awareness of the disease and the need to restrain it. Apart from Raksharab and Starvac R, IIL has the largest range of zoonotic vaccines in the country such as CYSVAX, Bruvax, and we are constantly innovating novel vaccines to cater to the ever-emerging zoonotic risks.”
