WHO have developed the COVID-19 Vaccine Introduction and deployment Costing tool (CVIC tool) to provide a structured and comprehensive estimation of incremental operational and selected capital costs of introducing and deploying COVID-19 vaccines, in alignment with the National Deployment and Vaccination Plan (NDVP). Countries can customize the priority target populations based on WHO SAGE guidance and select multiple delivery strategies and vaccine products.
Several countries have used the CVIC tool to inform budgeting for COVID-19 vaccine roll-out. Countries can submit request of their resource needs to the WHO COVID-19 Partners Platform through uploading a completed CVIC tool.
For many years, the Immunization Economics Community of Practice has supported researchers, policymakers, and practitioners around the world to use economic evidence to make better immunization decisions so that limited resources can save more lives.
Our work has been generously supported by the Gates Foundation and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, but our current funding ends this year. We are now seeking donations to help us bridge this transition and keep the community alive.
