The eVIN (Electronic Vaccine Intelligence Network) system in India is primarily designed to achieve which objective?
- A Provide online training to ASHA workers on vaccine administration
- B Generate automated AEFI reports for regulatory submission
- C Real-time tracking of vaccine stock and cold chain equipment temperature across all immunization stores ✓
- D Register and track individual beneficiary immunization status
Correct answer: C. Real-time tracking of vaccine stock and cold chain equipment temperature across all immunization stores
Explanation
eVIN (Electronic Vaccine Intelligence Network), implemented across all states and UTs, uses smartphones and a cloud-based application to provide real-time data on vaccine stocks and storage temperatures in all cold chain points across India. It enables proactive management of vaccine supply, reduces vaccine wastage, prevents stockouts, and maintains cold chain integrity. Individual beneficiary tracking is managed by the Co-WIN/U-WIN platform; AEFI reporting uses a separate pharmacovigilance system; ASHA training is conducted through separate digital platforms.
