The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic impacted the lives of each and every
individual. It resulted in global chaos and caused loss of lives and livelihoods. Introduction of
COVID-19 vaccine emerged as a ray of hope to mankind for protection against COVID-19.
India is a huge country with huge population of 1.39 billion individuals. Making COVID-19
vaccine accessible to each and every individual was a challenge for the Government. To
bridge the gap of accessibility of COVID-19 vaccine, Jivika introduced doctor-based Mobile
Vaccination Clinics. More than 200 mobile vaccination clinics operated in more than 40
districts of six states across India. We served as an extended arm of the Government to ensure
the accessibility of COVID vaccine to the underserved.
More than 2.5 million people were administered COVID-19 vaccine in the year 2021-22
through our mobile vaccination clinics. The beneficiaries comprised of the underserved and
unreached population- rural poor, slum dwellers, tribal communities, street vendors, old-aged
people, people with disabilities, female sex workers, transgender, domestic helpers, truck
drivers, migrant workers and students.

Approach

  1. Micro-planning and Mapping of villages with low vaccine penetration
  2. Community Mobilization for community engagement
  3. Vaccination Camp
  • Counselling to overcome vaccine hesitancy and eradicate misinformation
    about vaccine
  • Registration of beneficiaries on Government’s Cowin portal
  • Safety Protocols (sanitization, social distancing and wearing masks)
  • AEFI Preparedness (availability of AEFI kit in each unit along with an
    ambulance in standby for emergency situations)
  • Bio-medical waste Management (color coded bins for disposing biomedical
    waste)

     4. Door to door vaccination (Vaccination of old aged and specially-abled people at
         their doorsteps)

     5. Worksite vaccination camps (Vaccination camps for workers at their worksites,
         like farm, brick kilns and factories for saving their day’s wage)
