The CVIC tool is the WHO-UNICEF tool designed to assist countries in planning and costing COVID-19 vaccination. The CVIC tool provides a structured and comprehensive estimation of incremental operational and selected capital costs of introducing and deploying COVID-19 vaccines.
Targeting national program managers and personnel who have been involved in the costing, budgeting, or financing processes of COVID-19 vaccine delivery in a country, this course aims to provide a detailed demonstration of the use of the CVIC tool and outline how outputs could be obtained and interpreted from the tool.
