Open Questions


Q: In the situation where diluents are damaged somehow, how can we just order diluents?

It is very difficult to order diluents it self. so for the doses that doesn't have a pair of diluents they will be reported as wastage for unopened vial " i gues i'm aswering the question if found diluents and its vaccine mismatch after a physical count

A: User will make an adjustment to diluents prior to requisitioning. The requisition will include all products below maximum level. 


Q: Are there situations where we don't want to automatically add diluents, syringes, and safety boxes to an order?

A: No, both need to appear in one order. still skeptical about adding diluents to an order " will sell the idea to the team"


Q: How will the body responsible for syringes and safety boxes interface with VIMS? 

A: It is MSD, just a different warehouse.

 

Q: Do healthworkers check that the manufacturer of an antigen and the manufacturer of a diluent are the same?

Below is a list of questions to be addressed as a result of this requirements document:
