ANSWER: All of the above
- The Government of India has initiated a SMS based electronic vaccine intelligence network (e- VIN) to enable real time monitoring of vaccine stocks at 4476 cold chain storage points across all 160 districts of 3 states viz. Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh under Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) Health System Strengthening support.
- This represents a bold new approach, because for the first time in the country, mobile technology has been adopted all along the value chain, up to the last cold chain points (CCPs) for vaccine management under the Universal Immunization Programme (UIP). Now real-time stock availability is accessible online for all CCPs, and session-wise vaccine consumption data is available on-demand.
