  1. Pandemic Influenza A H1N1 Vaccinating Health Care Workers

  2. International Scenario • WHO reported ‘at least’ 13554 deaths as on 10th January 2010 from 208 Countries. • Influenza Activity is declining in most countries except for countries in East Europe, North Africa and some parts of Asia • Whether a fresh surge would emerge cannot be predicted.

  3. Global Spread Cases and Deaths Cases only 208 Countries affected

  4. Country Specific Cases/ deaths

  5. Countries reporting mutation in H1N1 virus

  6. Countries reporting anti viral resistance 185 Cases ; 20 Countries

  7. National Scenario • 28,110 persons tested positive • 1,111 persons died • Influenza activity is showing declining trend in Rajasthan, Delhi and Haryana but renewed activity is seen in Gujarat and Maharashtra (Pune). • There is an overall decline in morbidity and mortality.

  8. 96 % cases recovered/recovering 117094 persons tested for H1N1 –27712 positive, 1059 dead 117094 persons tested till 10 January 2010 -77 % of them negative

  9. Weekly Trend of Cases

  10. Pandemic Vaccine • Four Indigenous Manufacturers • Serum Institute, Zydus Cadila, Panacea, Bharat Biotech • Clinical Trials Started • Commercial lot expected in April/ May 2010. • Import of Vaccine • 1.5 million doses to vaccinate Health Care Workers.

  11. Pandemic Vaccination Objective • Protect those most at risk of infection with this new virus. • Among the high risk group, the health care workers in the hospitals from CHC and above would be targeted, to ensure that the health facilities providing medical care/ H1N1 care are able to continue its operations even in future worst case scenario.

  12. Planning and coordination at State level • State Pandemic Influenza Deployment Plan : The State Governments need to develop an operational plan • At State Level, co-ordination mechanism needs to be established between the Medical Education/ Health/ Hospital/ Family Welfare Departments etc to ensure that the target population is vaccinated. • State Nodal Officer: Nodal Officer need to be identified to role out the vaccination programme in the State. • MOHFW has sent Checklist / Proforma to all the states.

  13. Target Population The health care workers • Doctors, nurses, pharmacists, Paramedical Staff and Support staff of • CHCs • Sub-District Hospitals • District hospitals • Medical colleges • Tertiary Care hospitals • Ayush Hospitals • Hospitals under local bodies/ Government owned Societies etc. • Health Workers in Identified Private Hospital managing H1N1 • Laboratory Staff of Labs Testing H1N1

  14. Pandemic Vaccine • Inactivated, non-adjuvanted vaccine • 0.5 ml single dose for the identified target group • Intra Muscular • Comes in multi dose vial of 5ml. • Needs storage and transportation at 2-8 degree Celsius

  15. Cold Chain Capacity • Central Level • Storage at GMSD Delhi and Karnal • States need to identify: • Minimum Additional net Capacity of 200 Litres at State/ Regional Level ( Equivalent to 300 Litre ILR) • Additional Net Capacity of 20 Litres in Medical Colleges / District level.

  16. AD Syringes • The vaccine would require use of AD syringes. • State has to ensure the availability from the Immunization Programme. • The AD syringes utilized on account of pandemic vaccine would be replaced. • Dry Storage Space for AD Syringes.

  17. Vaccination Planning • Micro plan for the District • Distribution plan • Logistic support for supply chain/ cold chain • Health Facility where vaccination would be carried out • Identified Vaccinators • Vaccination Day(s) • Training

  18. Adverse Events • Being an inactivated vaccine very few adverse events are expected. • However, there had been rare reporting of serious adverse events with seasonal influenza vaccine. • Hence the vaccinated population needs to be monitored for Adverse Event Following Immunization (AEFI). • information on AEFI : The State Nodal Officer would arrange the training of the identified vaccinators / dissemination of information on AEFI.

  19. Wastage • Expensive vaccine • Wastage norms as applicable to UIP vaccines should not be applied to pandemic vaccine. • Special attention needs to be taken to avoid wastage.

  20. Time line • The vaccine is expected in the Delhi/ Karnal GMSD by third week of January 2010. • The roll out is expected to start from February first week. • The states confirming of cold storage capacity is expected to receive the vaccine in the first week of February itself. • It is expected that the state would further deploy the vaccine to the vaccination centres in another week to 10 days.

  21. State EPI/ UIP Officers Meeting • A meeting of State Nodal Officers (Immunization) has been called on 22nd January 2010 • Operational plan, guidelines and other issues would be discussed and finalized.
