THE 4 CHALLENGES ON VACCINATION : AVAILABILITY, WASTAGE ,TO INCREASE COST, ALLOW EXPORT:
AVAILABILITY OF VACCINE & WASTAGE :
* Make sure that the second and final dose of Vaccine is available for the first dose takers.There should be pipeline orders and procurement guaranteed.
Only then add another age group.
* Check up the distrubution line minor and small vaccination centers.
* To ensure no vaccine wastage collect precise numbers. 2/3 extra vaccine dose can always be given to the ones not in the target group as is happening now. SMALLER TOWNS UNABLE TO GATHER SUFICIENT NUMBERS NEEDN'T HAVE ON ALL 7 DAYS. According to the demand 2/3/4 days a week can be chosen.
VACCINE COST INCREASE FOR THE MANUFACTURERS : Naturally they are also business people like to make profit as they have invested and taken efforts . BUT DONT ALLOW THEM MARK FANCY PRICES LIKE GARMENTS. AS VACCINE COMES IN THE ESSENTIAL CATAGORY, LIFE SAVING. - Allow a nominal increase of Rs. 50 / dose of vaccine from the current Rs. 250/ That should suffice for the manufacturers. THEY DONT SPEND ANY ON PROPOGANDA SALES PROMORION. TILL 2022 THEY ARE GUARANTEED OF DEMAND, PRODUCTION AND PROFIT.
ALLOW INDIAN MANUFACTURER TO EXPORT VACCINE : A percentage of productioncan always be allowed to be exported to hail India's name globally. The manufacturer can also make his money and bring in Foreign exchange.
LET ALL PARTIES BE SATISFIED AND FULFIL THE DUTY TO THE NATION ALSO. - Jai Hind. more
