Description: Dolls, chocolates, toys! Not at all. The best gift for the children is vaccination. The Jingle begins with the wishes of a mother who is singing lullaby to her child. She is addressing the Moon, who, according to traditional Bengali folklore, is personified as the maternal uncle of the Bengali children. “Aay Aay Chand Mama ti diye ja” is a traditional Bengali rhyme where Uncle Moon is requested to protect the child from evil eyes by giving a mark of black kohl. The jingle then relates the concept of protection to the routine immunization. It describes the does and don'ts related to vaccination, aware the listeners about Polio, Rubella, Measles, Hepatitis and other diseases which can be avoided by routine immunization. The Jingle ends with addressing the parents not to waste any time and take their children to the vaccination centre.

Translation: Come, come, Uncle Moon give the black mark, And protect my child from evil and dark. Listen to me, there is one more thing, One should not miss regular vaccine. Starting from zero, to the age of five, Immunization is a blessing to life. Too many diseases, too much turmoil, Once affected, life will spoil One by one, here is the list Polio, Tuberculosis, dreaded measles are beasts. There will be Hepatitis, there will be Pneumonia, Tetanus will occur and also Diphtheria. Legs will be harmed, and lungs will deteriorate, Even a doctor cannot make it great. Viruses will spread to your beloved family, No vaccination means, gone so early. Life will end at a tender age, Vaccination should not be feared at this stage. Show your wisdom, show your intellect, Act like a true parent Get your duties checked. Do not miss the routine Immunization, It is the mark of good health for a reason.
