The Health Ministry announced that Jammu and Kashmir reached 100% Full Immunisation Coverage (FIC) through the Universal Immunisation Programme (UIP) during the 2025-26 period. While most regions hit this target, Budgam, Jammu, Kathua, and Pulwama were the exceptions. Officials attributed this success to targeted outreach efforts in hard-to-reach and isolated locations, which helped ensure that all children eligible for routine vaccines were covered.
