WHO Guiding Principles to combat covid-19

1. Immunization is a core health service that should be prioritized for the prevention of communicable diseases and safeguarded for continuity during the COVID-19 pandemic, where feasible.5Immunization delivery strategies may need to be adapted and should be conducted under safe conditions, without undue harm to health workers, caregivers and the community.

2. VPD surveillance should be maintained and reinforced to enable early detection and management of VPD cases, and where feasible, contribute to surveillance of COVID-19.

3. National authorities will need to continuously monitor the dynamics of COVID-19 in their country or region. National Immunization Technical Advisory Groups (NITAGs) have an important role in providing advice with respect to the maintenance, adaptation, suspension and/or reinstatement of immunization services.

4. If provision of immunization services is negatively impacted by COVID-19, countries will need to design strategies for catch-up vaccination for the period post COVID-19 outbreak and make plans which anticipate a gradual recovery. Implementation of catch-up will require strategies to track and follow-up with individuals who missed vaccinations, assess immunity gaps, and reestablish community demand. Innovation and creativity will be required.

5. Based on the current understanding of transmission of the COVID-19 virus and recommendations for physical distancing, mass vaccination campaigns should be temporarily suspended. Countries should monitor and
re-evaluate at regular intervals the necessity for delaying mass vaccination campaigns.

6. The conduct of outbreak response mass vaccination campaigns will require a careful risk-benefit analysis on a case-by-case basis, assessing risks of a delayed response against the risks associated with an immediate response, both in terms of morbidity and mortality for the VPD and the potential impact of further transmission of theCOVID-19 virus.

7. Where feasible, influenza vaccination of health workers, older adults, and pregnant women is advised.7

  The Indian Government has taken several reformative steps to make the food grain distribution system more effective. Some of the key measures include: Computerization of the Public Distribution System (PDS): The PDS has been computerized to improve transparency, efficiency, and accountability in the distribution of food grains. Use of technology: The government has introduced the use of technology, such as Aadhaar-enabled biometric identification and Point of Sale (PoS) devices, to eliminate fake and duplicate ration cards and improve the targeting of subsidies. Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT): The DBT scheme has been implemented for the distribution of food subsidies, which aims to reduce leakages and increase transparency in the delivery of subsidies.

The world is realising what experts and policymakers in advanced nations are resisting - that its current approach to dealing with climate change is flawed for one very simple reason. It continues to ignore trade-offs?Explain

-
  The statement highlights a critical issue in how climate change is addressed globally. Here’s a breakdown of the key points: Flaws in the Current Approach: Ignoring Trade-offs : Many advanced nations and policymakers are often focused on specific strategies or technologies to combat climate change without adequately considering the trade-offs involved. Complex Interdependencies : Addressing climate change involves intricate interdependencies among environmental, economic, and social factors. A singular focus on reducing carbon emissions, for instance, may inadvertently lead to negative impacts on other aspects such as employment, economic growth, or social equity. Unintended Consequences : Policies that ignore trade-offs can lead to unintended consequences. For example, aggressive mandates on renewable energy might drive up electricity costs, which could disproportionately affect low-income households. Examples of Trade-offs: Energy Transition : Transitioning from fossil fuels to...
