A cost analysis of the Vaccine Direct Delivery (VDD) program in Nigeria found that using the eHealth technology to reduce vaccine stockouts had an incremental cost of USD20.6 to reach one additional child for vaccination.
The study, published in BMC Public Health, used the expense reports to calculate program operating costs which were estimated at USD10,555 monthly for the 42 months that the VDD program was operating in Bauchi state, leading to a reduction in vaccine stockouts of over 55%.
