One-day vaccination programme was organised at Sub-District Hospital Bhaderwah to safeguard Hajj pilgrims from infectious diseases ahead of the Hajj 2026 pilgrimage. The vaccination camp at SDH Bhaderwah administered mandatory vaccines and conducted medical examinations to assess fitness for departure. The drive was supervised by BMO Bhaderwah Dr Varsha Sharma, with DDC Chairman Doda Dhananter Singh Kotwal as chief guest inaugurating the programme. During the camp, 19 Hajj pilgrims from Bhaderwah received vaccines and underwent medical check-ups. Vaccines administered included OPV, QMMV, and SIV to protect pilgrims from communicable diseases. It is mandatory to have Polio, Meningococcal, and Seasonal Influenza vaccines as per international health standards.
