And ease of mobility/transportation/cost of storage too. The mRNA vaccines will be difficult to administer in India due to the refrigeration requirement for sub zero storage.
Anyone can be trained to give the nasal drops. It’s like the polio drops. Mobile clinics can access rural areas to deliver it quickly and to everyone.
My mom says that twice a week someone comes around for health checks. Esp for senior citizens. For obvious symptoms like fever, cold, flu symptoms etc. they record it and are responsible for 10-15 streets(500 approx homes a day, I’d imagine).
They are not even nurses. They are community health workers. They just document ‘community health’. They can just easily go to every home to deliver the vaccines.
I can’t imagine anything like this for the USA. Don’t know how this kind of grassroot health check is possible in a 1.4 billion country and we can’t manage it in the states. Just woolgathering and pondering. Not enough data to make a meaningful comment or observation.
