Decision-makers need to know how much immunization programs cost beyond the cost of the vaccine. Delivery costs are important to plan for the financial sustainability of immunization programs and make informed decisions to improve immunization coverage, equity, and resource allocation. Many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) do not have immunization delivery unit cost estimates available or have estimates that are uncertain, unreliable, or old. Our additional estimates present financial and economic costs for 136 LMICs, by WHO region, income classification, and GAVI transition phase, based on a recently published study and methodology.
Any organization or individual working in the field of immunization economics can submit findings, opportunities, calls to action, or other relevant work below to be shared with our community.
