It is necessary forchildren to be administered vaccination for both common anduncommon diseases. $any fatal diseases are ta)en to becommon and hence are ta)en with a pinch of salt. In order tocorrect the discrepancies in the routine immunizationprogram in India, the problem has to be corrected from the

grass-root level.
