The Immunization Economics Community of Practice brings together a wide-ranging set of stakeholders with an interest in the generation and use of economic evidence to help improve immunization programs in low- and middle-income countries.
The Immunization Delivery Cost Catalogue (IDCC) was built to answer a question frequently asked by national and global immunization stakeholders: “What are the unit costs of vaccine delivery across different LMICs and through a variety of delivery strategies?” The IDCC is available as a web catalogue (below) and as a downloadable Excel document.
This resource offers practical methodological guidance for country immunization program staff and their consultants and technical teams planning to carry out exercises that involve primary data collection focused on assessing the costs of routine immunization services, including the delivery costs of those services, through retrospective costing.
This handbook explains the vaccine development and financing landscape and the principles that invalidate standard market-based approaches to vaccine discovery and distribution based on free unregulated markets. Because government involvement in vaccine policy is universal, tools to determine costs and benefits of vaccination from various perspectives are explained and illustrated with exercises.
