Under Mission Indradhanush 2.0 (Intensified Mission Indradhanush), the primary objective was to vaccinate children and pregnant women who were:
- A Previously vaccinated but requiring booster doses
- B Partially vaccinated or unvaccinated, especially in low-coverage districts ✓
- C Children aged 5–12 years not covered under routine immunization
- D Migrant workers requiring adult immunization
Correct answer: B. Partially vaccinated or unvaccinated, especially in low-coverage districts
Explanation
Mission Indradhanush (launched 2014, intensified versions 2.0 in 2017 and 3.0 in 2021) targeted children (0–2 years) and pregnant women who were either unvaccinated or partially vaccinated — especially in districts with low routine immunization coverage (<90%). The mission used short, intensive immunization rounds to rapidly boost coverage. It does not target booster doses for previously fully vaccinated children, and routine adult immunization beyond pregnant women is handled separately.
