Mission Indradhanush Vaccination Status: How to Check Due Doses and Records on U-WIN

To check status under Mission Indradhanush you are not tracking an application, because there is none: you are checking which vaccine doses are recorded as given and which are still due for your child or for yourself in pregnancy. That record lives in two places, the Mother and Child Protection (MCP) card in your hand and the U-WIN digital immunisation registry held by the Government of India, and the ASHA or ANM who visits your house holds the third copy in the due list. For eligibility, the vaccine list and the campaign background, read the Mission Indradhanush guide; this article covers only how to find out where a beneficiary stands after a session.

What "status" means here

There is no sanction, approval or disbursement stage to track. Mission Indradhanush pays no cash benefit and issues no card of entitlement. So the only three questions worth asking are:

1. Was the dose given at the last session actually recorded?
2. Which doses are still due, and by when?
3. Is my area covered in the current round, or should I use routine sessions instead?

How to check the record on U-WIN

U-WIN is the government's digital immunisation registry. According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare it holds a fully digitised vaccination record for pregnant women and children from birth to 17 years under the Universal Immunization Programme, with citizen-facing access and flexible scheduling.

1. Open the U-WIN portal or app and log in as a beneficiary using the mobile number given at the time of registration, and the OTP sent to it. Using a different number is the commonest reason a record does not appear.
2. Select the child or mother from the beneficiary list linked to that number.
3. Read the vaccination history: doses already administered are listed with dates and the session site.
4. Read the due list: the vaccines still pending for that age, with their due dates.
5. Download the vaccination certificate for any completed dose if you need proof for a school, creche or travel.

If you never registered on U-WIN, there is nothing to look up online. The record is only on the MCP card, and the fix is to ask the vaccinator to register the beneficiary at the next session so future doses are digitised.

How to check the record offline

• Look at the MCP card. Each dose should carry the vaccine name and the date. The next due date is normally written by the vaccinator at the end of the session.
• Ask your ASHA, ANM or anganwadi worker. They maintain the due list and the head count for your village or ward and can tell you immediately whether the child is shown as fully immunised, partially immunised or left out.
• Ask at the sub-centre or health and wellness centre. The immunisation register there is the source record for the session site.

Common status problems and what to do about each

• A dose was given but does not appear on U-WIN. This usually means the session entry was made on paper and not yet synced, or it was recorded against a different beneficiary ID. Take the MCP card back to the same session site or sub-centre and ask the vaccinator to update the entry against the correct ID.
• The child appears twice with two beneficiary IDs. This happens when a fresh registration is created at a new session site instead of using the existing one. Ask the ANM to have the duplicate merged so the due list is calculated correctly, because a split record can make a fully vaccinated child look partially immunised.
• The mobile number has changed. You cannot see the record through OTP on a number that is not registered. The number has to be corrected at the session site by the vaccinator.
• The record shows doses due that you believe were given. Trust the MCP card entry and take it with you. If the card shows the dose and the register does not, the register is corrected; if neither shows it, the dose is repeated as due, which is the safe course.
• No record found at all. For a child never registered anywhere, this is normal, not a rejection. The child is treated as a left-out beneficiary, which is precisely the group Mission Indradhanush targets, and a fresh record is opened at the next session.

How to check whether a round is running in your area

Mission Indradhanush rounds are time-bound and run only in districts, blocks, urban slums, migrant settlements and hard-to-reach areas selected for that round, though Intensified Mission Indradhanush 5.0 ran across all districts in the country and covered children up to 5 years, concluding its three rounds on 14 October 2023.

Ask the ASHA, ANM or anganwadi worker whether your ward is in the current microplan, or ask the district health office. If it is not, the answer is not to wait: routine Universal Immunization Programme sessions run every week all year at sub-centres, health and wellness centres, anganwadis and hospitals, and the same due doses are given there free.

Where to escalate

• Medical Officer in charge of the nearest primary or community health centre, for a record that is not being corrected or a dose that was refused.
• 104, the state health helpline in most states.
• 1075, the National Health Helpline of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
• nhm.gov.in, for the immunisation programme pages and the Intensified Mission Indradhanush operational guidelines.

No payment is due for checking a record, correcting an entry, replacing an MCP card or downloading a certificate. Any demand for money at these steps should be reported to the Medical Officer.
