VACCINE DISTRIBUTION, COLD CHAIN, LOGISTICS AND INFRASTRUCTURE

•   For the start of phase 1 the J&J Covid 19 vaccine and consumables are supplied through a contract research
    organisation who is also responsible for the storage between 2 to 8°C, accountability and adherence to the study
    protocol.

•   The Provincial central medical depot will distribute to the collection sites in phase 1 depending which vaccine is
    supplied and if the minimum order quantity is too big for direct deliveries. In Phase 2 and 3 direct delivery from the
    supplier to the collection site will also be used.

•   The province has currently 31 collection sites with WHO prequalified fridges or walk-in fridges. Seventy five (75)
    WHO pre-qualified vaccine fridges are needed for phase 2 and phase 3 of the Covid-19 vaccine roll out.

•   Temperature is monitored with Fridge Tags®. The vaccines will be stored according the specifications of the
    manufacturer as indicated in the package insert. The collection sites need to upgrade to continues temperature-
    monitoring systems with sms alarms according to the South African Pharmacy Council Board Notice 50 of 2015.

•   Each collection site has their own contingency plans in case of cold chain failure. These collection sites are based in
    hospitals (30) and CHC (1) with permanent pharmacists.

•   Rx solution is used as stock management system.

7. Service delivery

•   Identify target populations that will be prioritised for access to vaccines during Phase 2, estimate their numbers and
    identify their geographic location.

•   Identify potential COVID-19 vaccine delivery strategies and outreach strategies leveraging both existing vaccination
    platforms and non-vaccination delivery approaches to best reach identified target groups.

•   Identify vaccination sites and ensure that these sites register on the on-line portal.

•   For delivery through private facilities, develop and approve Standard Operating Procedures, including service quality
    and performance and reporting standards and mechanisms for complaints-handling, certification of facilities,
    financing, performance monitoring and integrity checks.

•   Update protocols for infection prevention and control measures including adequate personal protection equipment
    (PPE) to minimize exposure risk during immunization sessions.

•   Develop and review vaccination site accreditation and readiness assessment across all level in both private and
    public

•   Ensure that each vaccination site has sufficient vaccinators

CONCLUSION

•   Department has put systems in place to roll out the vaccine program as planned

•   The successful implementation of this plan will depend on a number of factors which includes but not limited to:
    availability of adequate vaccines to cover the population of the FS, aggressive demand creation efforts to counter
    vaccine hesitancy, robust RCCE programs, stakeholder engagement and collaboration.

•   The plan will be reviewed constantly to check if the we are still on track especially when dealing with Phase 2&3
    respectively.

•   Lessons learned from the Phase 1 rollout will assist in enrolling more facilities across the Province
