Expired vaccine unified recovery and destruction
Recently, the State Food and Drug Administration and the National Health and Family Planning Commission jointly issued a notice requesting further strengthening of vaccine circulation supervision and promotion of vaccine supply. Vaccine production enterprises can directly distribute vaccines to county-level disease prevention and control institutions, or entrust enterprises with drug cold chain transportation conditions to distribute; it is necessary to evaluate the distribution capacity of enterprises and strictly control the number of distribution enterprises. The same vaccine production enterprises are selected in the same province. There shall be no more than two distribution enterprises, and enterprises that accept the entrusted distribution shall not be entrusted again. The notice is clear that the vaccine delivery can take the segmental relay method of trunk transportation + regional storage + regional distribution. Vaccines must not be mixed with non-pharmaceutical vehicles; if they are mixed with other drugs, they should be placed in the transport vehicle to prevent confusion and cross-contamination. The notice emphasizes that all relevant enterprises, disease control institutions, and inoculation units should establish a vaccine traceability system to gradually trace the entire process of production, storage, transportation and use of the vaccine minimum packaging unit. When the production enterprises sell vaccines, they should be shipped out of the warehouse according to the order of production date; the disease control institutions and the inoculation units should establish a vaccine validity inspection system, and store the expired vaccines in isolation, and mark the “expired†warning signs; The county-level disease control agencies shall register and recycle in a unified manner, and regularly report the varieties, batch numbers, quantities, and production enterprises of the expired vaccines to the county-level food and drug supervision departments, and the county-level food and drug supervision departments shall, in conjunction with the health and family planning departments, destroy them according to regulations. According to the notification requirements, the provincial CDCs should incorporate vaccine procurement into the provincial public resource trading platform management as soon as possible, and implement centralized online procurement. The county-level CDC collects and collects the vaccine procurement plan in the administrative area. After the provincial CDC aggregates the vaccine demand in the region, the provincial public resource trading platform forms a reasonable purchase price through direct net connection, bidding or negotiation negotiation. The county-level disease control agencies shall purchase vaccines from vaccine manufacturers according to the inoculation needs and the results of the bidding. The quantity of purchase shall guarantee the regular use of the administrative area for 2 months to 3 months.
