The Efficient Vaccine Distribution Process: From Order Receipt to Safe Delivery

In this context, Camaño said that the circuit begins with the receipt of orders made by the different vaccinations in the province, from third-level hospitals to primary care centers, which is done through an application controlled by pharmacists: “Once we control the orders, we pass them on to the data entry administrators, who are in charge of preparing the delivery notes and after this step, an administrative office verifies that all the delivery notes are in order, controls numerical correlation and generally supervises the entire process. of this documentation.

After completing the bulk of the administrative work, the pass is made to the Nursing sector, from where each order is prepared in the cold room that the Provincial Warehouse has. The chamber has a large volume of storage capacity -400 cubic meters- and maintains a constant temperature in a range of 2 to 8 degrees, which is essential for the correct conservation of immunizations: “There our nurses prepare the orders and they are placed in thermal boxes that come out with thermometers at temperatures of 2 to 8 degrees as well and it is the carrier who carries out the transfer to the different effectors”.

When referring to what it means for the entire work team to have the renovated space and the advances in equipment of the Provincial Vaccine Depository, Camaño does not hesitate to affirm that there are multiple advantages of being able to work in a site fully prepared to concentrate all the vaccines in a single chamber together with disposable material, which makes the daily work of pharmacists, nurses and administrators more practical and effective.

Having this Deposit gives us greater security and practicality, we have two generator sets, one that is working and the other as a backup, in case there may be a failure or power outage. Truly, for all the team that works here, it is a responsibility that we take on with great commitment to maintain the cold chain, guarantee the safety of the processes, control everything so that the vaccine is transferred correctly at the right temperature and that it arrives that way. way to the effector to be applied to the patient”, highlighted the person in charge of the area.

This space, in some way, added Camaño, accelerated and made the vaccine distribution process effective, while generating greater instances of convenience and comfort for the personnel who carry out the tasks in their facilities: “That allows us to work better, have better performance. Everything is done under the guidelines of the Ministry of Public Health, in charge of Dr. Luis Medina Ruiz, and we are very comfortable and grateful that this is the case. We are very involved in the work we do and we do it with a lot of responsibility and real commitment”.

The Warehouse team is made up of two pharmacists -Mónica Beatriz Camaño and Lucas Martín Soto- three professional nurses -Gabriel Carrizo, Axel Corregidor and Sara Valdez- four administrative staff -Nicolás Coronel, Yair David Perea Rearte, Marcelo Escudero Saravia and Iris Pinto- and the driver Rodrigo Colombres, who transfers the vaccines to the different effectors.

The population has to be calm and be sure that from here the vaccine leaves with the correct temperature, it does not deviate at all, neither in the camera nor in the transfer and it arrives correctly at its effector, for this reason we insist that they can attend any vaccinator or vaccination node confident that the vaccine is in good condition and that the inoculation is correct. Vaccines save lives, that is the purpose of immunization, we have quarterly deliveries from the Nation that are being met in a timely manner, at this moment we have 550,000 doses stored in the chamber, so the supply of the vaccine is fully guaranteed and is effective,” he concluded.
