WB: Lack of syringes leads to worries for wasteful vax

Kolkata: Vaccinators in Bengal who succeeded in squeezing or two additional doses of covid vaccine bottles now find it difficult to do it because of syringe problems.
Bengal vaccine expertise did not waste a single dose but more extracts than bottles had caused an additional 16 lakh people who were vaccinated in the past three and a half months.
In August, 7 lakh people could be vaccinated due to negative waste in Bengal.
The state has become a country’s topping, along with Kerala, in a negative waste of vaccines.
But the vaccinator cannot do it again because of the quality of the injection needle that disables automatic available on the market.
Lack of syringes, partly driven by a country that requires more syringes to provide additional vaccine doses extracted from bottles, has led to the government procurement of syringes from the open market.
The center provides proportional syringes with vaccines.
“Previously, our vaccinator could squeeze 11 doses easily from most bottles and even 12 doses.
But now, for the past few weeks, vaccinators have not been able to attract more than 10 doses of each bottle, sometimes 11 doses,” Medical Specialists said The Sanjib Bandyopadhyay community, vaccination coordinator at Sommerhata ID.
“Yes, we see this trend,” said Director of Health State Ajay Chakraborty.
However, the upper state health official said it was too early to comment on the reason.
“Maybe the manufacturer is careful to reduce waste (by not providing extra doses).
But this is only a hypothetical statement,” he said.
Senior health officials add DHS and say they also get reports from various vaccination sites.
But they also said they were unsure about the reason.
Kolkata Municipal Corporation admitted that they could not take more than the vaccine for syringe problems.
According to a medical officer at a KMC clinic in Tollygunge, a vaccine that can now reach 10 doses of 10 extracts of a single vial.
While the government’s vaccine center faces problems, which personally has not faced it.
