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

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:
ProcessesStandardization 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.
