But implementation must be
thanked
Thank you Shri Choubeyji,
- - for
decision to constitute a “ National Expert Group “ to guide the government on distribution of Covid Vaccine :
Context :
Coronavirus |
Electronic Vaccine Intelligence Network to track COVID-19 vaccine
NEW DELHI,
Extract :
Ø
A national expert group on COVID-19 vaccine
has been constituted to guide the government on,
# prioritisation
of population
groups for vaccination,
# selection
of vaccine candidates,
# delivery
mechanism of the vaccine,
# cold chain and associated infrastructure for roll-out of COVID-19
vaccination, etc.
-
Minister of State for Health Ashwini Kumar
Choubey [ moshealth.akc@gov.in ] said
in a written reply.
Ø Mr
Choubey was responding to a question on whether the government has formulated
any road map to
introduce vaccines for COVID-19 in the country in the immediate future.
Ø “The
eVIN system is being enhanced to address the needs for distribution and tracking of COVID-19 vaccine, when it becomes available,”
the minister said.
===================================================
In my email ( 06 July 2020 / Rationing
of Covid Vaccine ? ) I had suggested as follows :
[ A ]…. PRIOROTIES – SELECTION OF CANDIDATES
People
deserving highest priorities are :
Ø Healthcare
Workers ( Doctors – Nurses – Lab Technicians etc )
Ø Police
personnel
Ø Personnel
from Essential Services
Ø Home
Delivery persons…… ( This is not a comprehensive list )
How to determine these priorities , scientifically /
un-biasedly , for 700 million people ?
Now, if
you ask 10 healthcare experts, there is a good chance that they agree on the
above-mentioned 4 categories of persons
Those
categories might add up to ( say ) 50 million persons ( needing 7 months’
supply )
But
what about the remaining 650 million persons ?
I have
a feeling those ten ( human ) experts will come up with very different priority
lists !
No
human expert, no matter how intelligent, can process and co-relate ALL the data
, quickly and continuously ( since data keeps changing all the time ) for the
following :
Ø Data
about “ Persons already
infected ( cured / died / under treatment ) “
Ø Data
about “ Persons not
infected so far “ – and needing vaccination
But,
if meticulously compiled and centrally processed (with
help of Artificial Intelligence ),
following data, compiled uniformly at source, could determine those
VACCINATION PRIORITIES
:
# PERSONAL DATA
Name
/ Birthdate ( for Age ) / Gender / Contact Details / Aadhar number
# LOCATION DATA
Permanent Address / Current Address ( State – Jilla – City – locality ) / Red
Zone /
Containment Area
# FAMILY DATA
Details
of Parents / Siblings
#
HEALTH HISTORY
Details of recent illnesses - morbidity / Medicines given ( including for Covid
treatment ) / Hospitals where
# ETHNIC DATA
Race
/ Religion / Language ( Mother tongue )
# EDUCATIONAL DATA
Graduate
– Under Graduate – Illiterate etc
# EMPLOYMENT DATA
Employed
– Unemployed – Self employed
# INCOME DATA
Monthly
Income ( to determine whether RICH – MIDDLE CLASS – POOR )
[ B ] DELIVERY MECHANISM – INFRASTRUCTURE
Today, each strip /
bottle of a medicine carries “ batch number “
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
sold a given “ Vial Number “ . This data will get automatically transmitted to
Govt’s Central Server
Ø No vial to be sold to anyone unless a Mobile App ( VaccineVend ?) clearly
displays that person’s priority ( as determined by AI ), as HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
No person
without such Mobile App will be sold the vaccine
Ø Chemist will enter sale-details in customer / buyer’s Mobile App , which will get
automatically transmitted to
Govt’s Central Server
If implemented , my suggestion ( for using AI to process trillions of bytes of
data ) , will help not only in establishing who ( out of our 700 million citizen )
gets first / second / third , chance to get vaccinated, but it will also prevent
black marketing of the vaccine
