What steps should be taken by the Health Dept to administer Covid vaccine smoothly?
Specific days, venues should be fixed
The Health Department is getting itself ready for a future Covid-19 vaccination programme with all-out efforts. However, it should take certain necessary and salutary steps for administering the vaccine smoothly. First of all, it should train the trainers rigorously and successfully on virtual platforms. After that, training should be imparted at the district and sub-district levels employing a blend of virtual as well as face-to-face pieces to its workforce. The vaccine should be introduced after the meticulous completion of all training sessions. Importantly accurate and transparent information about it should be disseminated in public interest. Besides vaccine-related rumours and myths should be dispelled and queries regarding the vaccine should be answered satisfactorily to win the confidence of people. Social organisations and NGOs’ help should be solicited to create awareness among the people about the vaccine. Hospitals should be kept fully ready for the safety and storage of the vaccine. To begin with, healthcare workers and people above 60 years of age should be vaccinated but not those who had not been afflicted with the virus. It should be ensured that no one walks into a clinic or vaccination facility centre to get vaccinated arbitrarily. Specific days should be fixed as was done in regard of polio drops programme. People should be contacted beforehand about jabs. Distribution system should be drastically improved, along with this, the areas which need vaccine the most should be identified and served on priority basis. A team of expert doctors should be deputed at each and every mohalla to respond quickly to any reaction that arises from a vaccinated person. Medicines should be kept ready for any such eventuality. It should be clarified unequivocally if the vaccine is to be given gratis or if one has to pay for it. The questions ‘should one wear a mask after getting the Covid vaccine, do some people feel bad after getting the jab?’ should be answered to satiate the curiosity and anxiety of the people.

Rope in trained vaccinators
For the smooth conduct of Covid vaccination, the Health Department should rope in trained and dedicated vaccinators. The department should first make list of senior citizens to start with and set up sanitised camps equipped with cozy infrastructure similar on the lines of election booths for administration of vaccine on ‘first come first serve’ basis where residents have not to travel more than a kilometer of radius. The administraton should also recruit volunteers for post-monitoring exercise with visit to those who got a shot of vaccine. Last but not the least, the Covid protocols must be followed strictly to avoid spread of virus.

Allay fears regarding the price
It is needless to say that all the countries are grappling with the issue of Covid and vaccine is indeed the need of the hour. In such a situation, a few countries have come out with the vaccine and India is one of them. It is an indispensable responsibility of the Health Department to deal with the Covid vaccine. Senior doctors should always present at the time when the patient is all set to take the injection. What is more, the prime affliction encountered by the masses is the price of vaccine. Apparently, it is out of the reach of common man as it not less in price. Therefore, the government must pay heed to this hurdle and think how to overcome this.

Grind all false rumours
Vaccine for the dreaded Covid-19 is round the corner. It requires an extremely meticulous and a detailed plan to comprehensively administer the vaccine in a timely manner. There are many myths/rumours about the irreversible side effects of the vaccine floating around on social media which needs to be dealt with. The safe preservation of the vaccine would needs a well-established storage infrastructure. The laid out network of ‘health and wellness centres under the ‘Ayushman Bharat’ should be utilised for the smooth administration of the vaccine. However, the staff for the administration and accounting of the administration of the vaccine may be outsourced.

Vaccinate people on the doorstep
People must be motivated to vaccinate themselves through digital awareness campaigns and hoardings. Residents should spread the word regarding vaccination among their family members and friends. A door-to-door visit by health officials should be started to cover the maximum number of people. Appointments can be started for people who want to get themselves vaccinated at hospitals so that long queues can be avoided. In the first place, prominent personalities should get themselves vaccinated so that they can become a role model for people.

Follow the Covid treatment pattern
For vaccination, the state government should take the first step in the pattern of treatment of Covid-19, those admitted in the government hospitals got free treatment whereas rates for the treatment in private hospitals was also fixed by the government. A similar pattern was in place for testing of Covid disease. Similarly, the vaccine should be given free of cost to general public in government hospitals, dispensaries and medical camps arranged specially for this purpose. But rates for the same in the private hospitals should be fixed so that those who can afford go to private sector for vaccination, get it there and reduce the burden on government hospitals and dispensaries, etc. Healthcare workers like doctors, nurses and para-medical staff and staff directly or indirectly engaged in this campaign of vaccination and sanitation workers should be administered this vaccination on priority basis. Then vulnerable class like slum dwellers should be provided this facility. To provide vaccination to the general public, the camps should be arranged in each and every ward in government buildings and educational institutions as done at the time of elections. A separate queue should be arranged for senior citizens and sick people. Help of some NGOs could also be taken to enquire from each and every house falling in a particular ward about the vaccination done or not as political workers enquire about the vote cast or not. But care should be taken that all public representatives like Panchayat members, municipal councillors, MLAs and MPs, etc should find their place at the end of this priority list, so as to prove that public is master and public representatives are just their servants.
