Abstract

Covid-19 Pandemic effects rural and indigenous area that is hard and far to reach by vehicles. Most of the medical deliveries to this remote area is done on foot and taken days to reach destination. Vaccine consistency is affected by their ambient temperature and duration of exposure to adverse temperature in their deliveries. In this research, the development of a reliable personnel backpack that provides self-sustainable energy for vaccine cold storage is proposed. This vaccine storage should support the ambient and stable temperature with at least between 2° – 8° Celsius. The problem on the transportation infrastructure in rural and remote area need to be addressed. Most of delivery is done by foot through the jungle or footpath that cannot be crossed by vehicles. Multi modal of power source is needed to accommodate the lack of electricity along the route in rural and remote area. Ergonomics and lightweight are also important for the personnel to bring the vaccine.
