Former Miss World Manushi Chhillar Roped in by UNICEF for World Immunization Week

Manushi Chhillar, former Miss World has been roped in by UNICEF to raise awareness of the need for immunization of children in India.

"Vaccines have helped generations of children grow up in good health, safe from infectious and dangerous //diseases like polio and measles. To save lives, we must redouble our efforts to vaccinate children -- particularly the most vulnerable. We must not let Covid-19 disrupt children's access to life-saving childhood vaccines," says Manushi.

Adult Immunization
Adult immunization is needed for adults whose mandatory childhood vaccines were either missed out or offer less protection, and to guard against new diseases.

She noted that vaccines will help protect children from the most devastating impacts of infectious diseases. "As we wait for #covid19 vaccines to roll out more widely, let's remember to vaccinate our children against other highly contagious diseases which remain a serious threat to their lives," she adds.

Manushi's focus right now is on kickstarting her career in Bollywood. She is scheduled to make her debut opposite Akshay Kumar in the historical drama "Prithviraj". She also has an untitled project coming up with Vicky Kaushal.
