Often we are not so familiar with the objects which we use very frequently. Knowing a little more helps in working with more confidence and perfection. Cleanliness is usually taken for granted. Revitted strap which keeps the lid entangled may be cumbersome to operate but it does an important function of keeping lid and body of the vaccine carrier always together ensuring perfect fitting. Open vial policy is in operation. Minute details may gain more importance. Investigating team of Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) probe in to the minute details to detect ‘programmatic errors’ like - vaccine frozen or not, zip-lock polythene pouch used or not, septum contaminated or not etc for reorienting the service providers to prevent further AEFIs. Approximately 90% of the AEFI's are due to programmatic errors. One page on Vaccine Carrier with photos is attached for further input pls. Vaccine-Carrier-right-and-the-wrong-1-page.pdf
