Furthermore, vaccines will gradually be sent to the district level. Then, it is distributed to hospitals to puskesmas.
“To ensure the quality of vaccines during distribution, vaccines that are removed from the refrigerator will be transported using a temporary container called vaccine carrier, “ujar Jane.
He said the device was used to send or carry vaccines from the health center to the posyandu or immunization service places. It can maintain the temperature required for the vaccine to be delivered.
“Those (temporary places) are like boxes. Vaccine refrigerators are not the same as ordinary food refrigerators,” he explained.
Jane added that when the vaccine is ready to be given to the community, service provision should be scheduled. Such as the date, time of implementation, and place of immunization.
“So that in time, the service providers and those who are served are met. Organized, the place is where, the time is, who works there, and who comes. That’s the ideal,” continued Jane.
Typically, vaccination for one person takes up to 10 minutes. The detailed duration starts when the vaccine recipient comes to the location, registers, is served, and leaves the place.
