Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Standardizing Vaccination Registration Process

 


Here is some welcome news :

Covid vaccination drive may span over a year, group-wise   /  Times of India – 31 Oct 2020

 

Extract :

 

Ø  “In all likelihood, the Covid-19 vaccine introduction will span over a year with multiple groups being included sequentially starting rom Healthcare Workers ( HCWs ). Therefore, it is important to create strong advisory and coordination mechanism at state and district levels to guide the process of Covid-19 vaccine introduction…… 

Ø  “It is anticipated that initially the supply of vaccine will be limited in view of huge demand hence, prioritization of socio-economic groups will be done for vaccination and subsequently other groups will be included for vaccination “ the ministry said 

Ø  As per the ToR ( Terms of Reference ), the steering committee to be led by te state chief secretary will monitor the creation of a database of healthcare workers ( HCWs ) on Covid-19 Vaccination Beneficiary Management System ( CVBMS ) who will be prioritized for vaccination in the first phase

 

===================================================

Central Government directive for creation of State-level steering committees, is a very welcome step

“ Creation of a Database“ for the purpose of “ Prioritization of socio-economic Groups “, would comprise of two steps , as follows :

 

LONG BEFORE VACCINATING :

Ø  “ Registration “ of each and every citizen, ( using an online FORM having only the ESSENTIAL data fields ), to assign “ Priority / Date / Timing / Venue of vaccination “ to each citizen, with provision for “re-assigning “ if concerned citizen cannot make it for some reason

 

IMMEDIATELY BEFORE VACCINATING :

 

Ø  Collecting “ additional demographic data “ about the citizen, in somewhat detailed manner , as described at :

Rationing of Covid Vaccine ?...............................[ 06 July 2020 ]

Extract :

 

#     For vaccine , each bottle / vial , besides carrying Batch                                      Number  must carry UNIQUE bottle number / vial number .

    

     


#     Vaccine Manufacturer will record which bottle got dispatched to which drug

       store / when 


#     Data will get automatically transmitted to Govt’s Central Server

 

 

 National Clinical Registry on Covid………………………….[ 29 Sept 2020 ]

 

 This data MUST be compiled BEFORE vaccinating because once a person

  gets vaccinated, he may not stick around to furnish the “ additional

 demographic data “ !  

 Health workers cannot be made to run after thousands of absconding citizen !

          

      

HOW WILL SUCH COMPILATION OF DEMOGRAPHIC DATA HELP ?

 

Ø  Applying AI ( Artificial Intelligence ) to the ever-growing National Health Data Vault, will enable us to PREDICT, which SOCIO-ECONOMIC GROUPS are most VULNERABLE now ( for getting infected with Covid in the near future ) and which groups are most susceptible later on to some other unknown future pandemics )    

  

Any compromise / shortcut on such MASSIVE DATA COMPILATION ( before vaccination ), will render the entire exercise infructuous ( costing Rs 50,000 crore, for the cost of vaccine + billions of MAN-HOURS spent by 1370 million citizen and health workers ) !

We would fail to “ Reap the Full Benefit “ of the ECONOMIC COST incurred of this ONE-TIME exercise, for PREVENTING future virus outbreaks !

I urge Dr Harshvardhan , to ensure that the steering committees of ALL the States follow ( without compromise ), ONLINE DATA COLLECTION FORMS , hosted on the Central Server , as described at :

National Clinical Registry   


Everyone MUST use :

Ø  Same FORM , hosted on same CENTRAL PORTAL , (using any device and from anywhere )
