· In recent times, awareness campaigns like, Swasth Immunised India has succeeded in advocating the importance of vaccine administration via a multimedia approach.
· The Indian vaccine manufacturing industry has brought down the cost of vaccines, making it affordable for Indians, as well as the global population.
· They have made great technological advancement in vaccine production, meeting the WHO standards. As a result of this, India holds a dominant position in the global vaccine market.
