Bhubaneswar: Odisha’s singing sensation Satyajeet Jena has become the new face of Measles-Rubella (MR) vaccination campaign with UNICEF India tweeting a picture of him while being inoculated.
He was vaccinated at his school in Anandapur in Keonjhar district yesterday. The young singer appealed to parents support the campaign and protect their children from air-borne communicable diseases.
Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik had flagged off the campaign on January 29, which will cover around 1.13 crore children in the state.
