Personal hospital in K’Taka Report waste vaccine

Bengaluru: Private hospital said they were struggling to spend a large stock of the covid-19 vaccine dose they have in their ownership and, as a result, a number of shots, especially covishield, wasted.
Private hospitals in Bengaluru have almost two doses of lakh covishield in stock, and hospital management says there are several takers for this paid dose.
A private medical college in Bengaluru said they only managed around four or five covishield doses from bottles 10 doses.
The remaining dosage goes in vain because they must be used in the number of hours determined by the opening of the bottle.
“We have 1,000 bottles we have so far giving 645 doses,” said the hospital while acknowledging that the waste vaccine was the main cause of concern.
“We have to throw 62 doses of covishield.” This, even though the hospital secretly provides a booster dose for their staff and relatives.
The college authority said they were at their minds and did not know what to do.
“Usually, two or three people come in the morning looking for a covishield.
If we don’t manage a dose, we don’t know whether they will return.
This vaccine will expire in February and must run out.
After we open the bottle, no more than five or six The dose is given.
The rest goes to in vain, “said the college authorities.
They also recognized the booster dose provided for their staff on request.
“If we stop giving a booster dose for those who are most vulnerable, the waste will only rise,” said the hospital.
For each lost dose, the hospital caused RS 630 losses.
One dose of covishield at RS 780 Private Hospital, including Rs 150 which leads to administrative allegations.
Stock redistributedan other private hospitals facing similar situations in early October, has now distributed all the doses into a problem.
The hospital has urged the government to buy their vaccine stock which will be in vain if it is not used.
However, Dr.
Arundhathi Chandrashekar, Mission Director, National Health Mission, Karnataka, said the government’s hand was bound.
“There is no provision for the government to buy this dose.
Private hospitals must use it wisely,” he said.
Karnataka, one of the first states to record a waste of negative Covid-19 vaccines, now seeing waste 0.3%.
“Even though it’s no longer a negative waste, the waste of 0.3% is still within the allowed limits,” said Dr.
Arundhathi.
Dr.
KV Trilok Chandra, Special Commissioner, Health, BBMP, said the hospital has a list of all the people scheduled for the second dose and suggests they contact these individuals and persuade them to take waste.
However, Ti Hospital spoke by saying there was no request for paid vaccination.
“In many cases, those who take the first dose in our hospital, have used the second dose elsewhere, maybe at government facilities,” said a hospital.
“When we call them, these people say they are fully vaccinated.” No Walk-Indr Sharan Patil, Chairperson of Sparsh Hospital, said they had a stock of 50,000 doses of covishield.
“We try to make sure the dosage is not in vain because the vaccine is only given based on the appointment of the previous meeting.
We do not allow candidates.
However, regardless of our efforts, small quality is sometimes wasted.
This is only national waste,” he said.
At the Special Hospital Apollo, Jayanagar, who has a large number of vaccines, no bottle opened the lunch post unless there are 10 vaccine seekers, said Dr.
Yateesh Govindaah, head unit.
He said if there were a number of people who were inadequate, the hospital took the contact details of those who entered and asked them to return the next day.
The follow-up call was also done the next day.
Private hospitals and nursing home associations (Phan) had previously responded to problems with brass from the Department of Health and Family Welfare.
“We can only issue advisors to hospitals to ensure that they do not throw away the dosage,” said Dr.
HM Prasanna, President, Phana.
