Vaccine

The administration of vaccines has been compromised due to multiple factors, including the use of impotent vaccines and poor maintenance of inoculation equipment. The Ministry failed to test the potency of vaccines or continued to use them despite knowing they were ineffective.

Vaccine

Vaccine

Condition = poor maintenance of inoculators

Recommendation = schedule for regular maintenance and repairs of the inoculators should be drawn up and implemented by the Department of Logistics
Cause = lack of scheduled maintenance
Effect = gas leak
Condition = gas leak

Recommendation = have more qualified technicians = strict penalties for poor handling

Cause = careless handling and poor maintenance

Effect = temp not maintained

Condition = temp not maintained

Recommendation = Ministry officials should consider the feasibility of replacing the old inoculators with the new portable refrigeration units for transporting vaccines in the field

Cause = gas leak

Effect = vaccines are impotent

Criteria = should be properly maintained

Criteria = inoculators should not leak

Criteria = Proper maintenance of inoculators

Condition: vaccine with short shelf life and larger sensitivity to temperature variations are used

Recommend = buy inoculators that are compatible with vaccine with longer shelf life and less sensitivity to temperature variations
Cause = no substitute vaccine is compatible with the inoculators
Effect = vaccine spoils easily
Criteria: vaccine with a longer shelf life and less sensitivity to temperature variations should be used

Condition = impotent vaccine administered

Recommendation = implement procedures to destroy vaccine where impotent. If they fail to comply, impose strict penalties.
Recommendation = if there is a power failure, vaccines should be tested
Cause = Ministry did not test for potency; or they tested but still continued to use it
Effect = people are not immunized despite vaccine being administered
Criteria = supposed to use potent vaccine

Condition = temperature not maintained

Recommendation = back-up generators
Cause = loss of refrigeration
Effect = vaccine lost potency
Criteria = should be maintained between 0-8 degrees

Condition = power failure

Recommendation = have proper maintenance
Cause = no proper maintenance of power supplies
Effect = caused deficient storage
Criteria = should not have power failure
