eVIN for Adult BCG Vaccine Study 

Entry of Adult BCG Vaccine in eVIN:

1. Adding Material Tag: A separate 'Adult BCG vaccine' material tag is added in eVIN.
2. Material Addition: Adult BCG (Dose) and Adult BCG Diluent (Dose) materials should be added under the 'Adult BCG vaccine' category (10-dose vial).
3. State Instructions: The State Immunization Officer or State Nodal Person for Adult BCG Vaccination must instruct the SPO/POIT of the state to add the 'Adult BCG vaccine' in identified districts where the vaccination will be conducted. Note that the 'Adult BCG vaccine' should not be added and distributed in all districts/CCPs of the state, but only in the intervention districts.
4. Indent Management: SVSM, RVSM, and DVSM will follow the usual process of indent management for distributing the Adult BCG vaccine from higher stores to the last CCP level. Consumption of the vaccine needs to be monitored to avoid wastage and ensure proper planning.

8. Recording and Reporting: For physical recording and reporting of the Adult BCG vaccination project, separate dedicated pages in the vaccine stock register and vaccine distribution register should be marked. Entries should also be made for the Adult BCG vaccine under the eVIN portal. The physical stocks of vaccine doses and syringes used for the adult BCG vaccination campaign should match with the eVIN portal and stock register.
