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?"

An Avoidable Controversy ?

 


 

For past 2 days, some State Governments are blaming the Central Government for failure to supply enough dozes of Covid Vaccines .


They are saying :


Ø   We have run out of stock ( or about to run out ).

Ø  This will bring down the number of citizen that we can vaccinate

Ø  In turn, this ( stock-out ) will lead to huge increase in Active Cases / Deaths



On its part, Dr HarshVardhan says :


Ø  There is no shortage of vaccine. More than enough dozes are available

Ø  We are dispatching adequate dozes to all States as per their performance / requirements



Serum Institute of India ( manufacturer of COVISHIELD ) says :


Ø  We are currently producing 67 million dozes every month

Ø  By May 2021, we will step up production to 100 million dozes / month

Ø  By 2022, we plan to raise production to 140 million dozes / month

Dear Dr Harshvardhanji,

 

I urge you to consider suggestion made in my following e-mail :

Ø  Voting and Vaccination : Compare and Contrast ………………….[ 19 Oct 2020 ]

 

Extract :

 

Distribution Logistics

 

Please also consider a centralized purchase of vaccines by your ministry from all vaccine manufacturers


No direct purchase by State Governments or any other govt agency – and certainly not by any private party/person


Your ministry to issue DELIVERY SCHEDULES to all vaccine manufacturers, which will instruct, how many dozes ( vials ) to be delivered to each VDC ( Vaccine Delivery Centre ) – and on what date .


These schedules to be visible to all, so that there is no dispute between different States re “non-receipt / less receipt “ of dozes


Each consignment to be tracked by Aushman Bharat website and promptly displayed for all to see


Online confirmation of receipt of each consignment by all VDC – again displayed on website for all – ensuring no debating of FACTS of deliveries / stocks / consumption


Although, website shall not display the names of citizen who have been administered the vaccine ( to protect their privacy ), it will display the DAILY and CUMULATIVE numbers of vaccinations ( for all to see )
