Vaccines have been delivered to doctors around Prague since Thursday by a collaborative effort of the Young Practitioners Association, online supermarket delivery company Rohlรญk.cz, and a dozen of other distribution companies.
Rohlรญk spokeswoman Zdenฤka Svoboda Kuhnovรก confirmed the companyโs collaboration with the association. Tomรกลก ฤupr, CEO of Rohlรญk, stated that โin the first place, it didnโt seem apparent that help was needed to deliver the vaccines. Until, of course, the Young Practitioners Association took it upon themselves to ask for aid. Currently, there are 3600 vaccines for less than 200 general practitioners in Prague.โ
โWe got a response from a lot of companies. We took advantage of Rohlรญkโs offer because they probably had the most sophisticated distribution system. But itโs not just them, of course. There are several distributors. Everyone does it for free,โ adds Mucha from the Young Practitioners Association.
Moreover, according to Mucha, nothing inaccessible and special is needed to transport the said vaccines. If the distributor is in possession of a refrigerator or a cooling system that maintains the correct temperature needed for the vaccines, then itโs practically enough.
โAll drivers also have food licenses, and in fact, Rohlรญk drivers are normally used to driving some medications,โ added the vice-chairman of the association. Rohlรญk does sell and deliver pharmaceutical products on their companyโs website.
The transmission of the vaccine works by means of a transfer protocol.
