The regional vaccine store inaugurated by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan here on Saturday will be the central point for distribution of vaccines to the five districts of Idukki, Ernakulam, Kottayam, Thrissur, and Palakkad. The centre, spread across 5,500 sq.ft., was set up at a cost of ₹3.6 crore. It is located close to the primary health centre in Edappally. “The regional vaccine store has adequate capacity to store vaccines for the five districts. The facilities include two walk-in coolers and a workshop for maintenance of deep freezers and ice-lined refrigerators,” said Dr. Mathew Numpeli, District Programme Manager, National Health Mission. The district vaccine store has been functioning at the Government General Hospital. It will be handed back to the hospital once the new regional store turns fully functional. The installation of the walk-in coolers at the regional store will be done by a central team from Hyderabad soon.More Related News
