How eVIN (electronic Vaccine Intelligence

Network)Can save life !!

The Immunization Technical Support Unit (ITSU) along with the Ministry of Health and

Family Welfare (MoHFW) on Routine Immunisation(RI), Government of India is

working on the Vaccination and Health department. The MoU with BMGF, MoHFW and PHFI are providing essential vaccines to the children and mothers in every district of

How eVIN (electronic Vaccine Intelligence Network)Can save life !!

VL & CCM:Vaccine Logistics and Cold Chain Management(VL & CCM) unit of ITSU had run a Deep Dive Study to document the current vaccine logistics management system. The exercise was carried out in UP, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh. Many issues and root causes were identified

Deep-Dive Study was followed by Feasibility Study, an in-depth exercise of assessing the feasibility when involving the private sector in VL

management under the Immunization programme. And then, a SMS based temperature monitoring device known as Temperature Logger Pilot,

designed by AHT (Affordable Health Technologies) to monitor temperature of Cold Chain Equipments.

eVIN pilot: ITSU designed a conceptual framework known as eVIN (electronic Vaccine Intelligence Network) to effectively address the gaps and challenges in Vaccine Logistics management. The test was done with a field level implementation in two districts of Uttar Pradesh– Bareilly and Shahjahanpur catering to a population of 7.4 million. The objective was to create a system which not only provides real time vaccine stock visibility at all levels of vaccine storage but also rationalizes distribution policies and ensures vaccine storage under recommended temperature.

The electronic Vaccine Intelligence Network (eVIN) System Attributes:

• Processes - Standardization of existing records and reporting formats used for data on vaccine stock and distribution.

• People - Introduction of a new cadre of managers (Vaccine and Cold Chain Managers-VCCM) for supporting the District Immunization Officer (DIO) in better management of vaccines, syringes and cold chain equipments.

• Product- A mobile based software platform for simplified inputs, intelligent analysis and rapid deployment, SIM based remote temperature monitoring devices.

RESULT:Since the initiation of electronic Vaccine Intelligence Network eVIN system, 90% reporting rate and 90% complete data reporting rate has been maintained. The system has also demonstrated a reduction in stock outs, from 70-80% to <10% for different vaccines and has shortened the duration of stock out from 4 days to 1 day.

Further eVIN Scale up, eVIN advocacy film, National Solar Cold Chain Assessment was set up to spread the awareness and to take the initiative to a better level.
