The facility conducts Vaccinations once a week but they can only stock a limited amount of child based vaccines since the facility uses a soda fridge to store vaccines. It is connected to a weak electricity grid and has a backup generator that incurs the management high electricity costs every month. Because of the remoteness and hard-to-reach nature of the homes, the healthcare workers conduct frequent field vaccinations.
