PATH’s suite of Vaccine Cost Calculators continues to expand! Following up on the tools launched in July that were designed specifically for middle-income countries, a new set of calculators geared for countries eligible to receive support from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance is now available.
The new Vaccine Cost Calculators for pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) and rotavirus vaccine aim to help national-level decision-makers in Gavi-eligible countries compare products and estimate program costs and cold chain volume for different vaccine options. Both calculators are available in English, French, and Spanish. A seven-minute video providing a brief tutorial on using the calculators is also available in English, French, and Spanish.
These simple, Excel-based tools allow users to explore up to four different vaccine options at a time. Cost estimates are composed of vaccine cost (i.e., vaccine and supplies procurement and international shipping) and vaccination program costs (i.e., vaccine cost and cost of delivery), and they are provided separately for the country perspective and the combined country and Gavi perspective.
