Pune: The efficient administration of the Anti-Covid Jab has helped Maharashtra achieve ‘a waste of negative vaccines’, which means all bottles are fully utilized.
This country is an average of 103 beneficiaries per session now compared to 92-96 months ago.
In September so far, an average of 7 doses of lakh have been given every day.
Taking into account the loss of the number of doses, Serum Institute of Covishield 10-dose Vial India actually contains more than the necessary volume.
In achieving ‘negative waste’, vaccinators have extracted and managed extra quantity in bottles to cover more beneficiaries.
Vaccination data shows that at least 16 districts, including Pune, has been vaccinated more than 100 receivers per average session so far in the drive.
The average Pune is around 106 recipients of vaccination per session around August 23, which increased to 112 on September 13.
In Mumbai, the average vaccination per session has increased from 158 recipients to 172 now.
Other districts that vaccinate 100-plus beneficiaries per session including Ahmednagar, Amravati, Aurangabad, Beed, Chandrapur, Jalgaon, Palghar, Nasik, Thane and Kolhapur.
Maharashtra clean waste for covishield so far is -1.77% and 0.51% for covaxin.
Sanjay Deshmukh, Assistant Director (Medical), Pune Circle, told TII, “The Ministry of Health has regularly noticed the low-performance district to increase vaccination per session.” Deshmukh said according to its original plan, the district was told to vaccinate 100 beneficiaries per session.
“However, some districts, including Pune, now exceeded that number.
In several sessions, Pune District has been vaccinated more than 3,000 beneficiaries in one day during the mega vaccination drive using additional vaccinators.
It is also possible because these sessions begin in the morning – Morning and continued until 9-10 a night.
“Deshmukh said the increase in vaccine supply over the past month also helped increase inoculation per session.
“Average Pune would be much higher had a session in a private hospital inoculated more people.
The figures were vaccinated at private hospitals has dropped greatly,” he said.
Rajshree Patil, medical officer at the Hospital Kamala Nehru, saying, “Vaccinator drawing more than 10 doses of each bottle of 10-doses.
Use Vial competent during each session vaccination has helped push the number of recipients to an average of 120 per session.
Even if 10 bottles used per session, we finally vaccinate 110-120 beneficiaries.
