A new publication in BMC Health Services Research estimated the cost of delivering the COVID-19 vaccination intensification campaign in Nigeria at US$0.84 per dose. The study analyzed secondary data on COVID-19 vaccination expenditures in 2022, and included incremental financial costs of the activities implemented to support an intensification campaign for COVID-19 vaccination across nine states and six administrative levels in Nigeria from the perspective of the external donor (U.S. Government).
Most of the financial resources were used for fieldwork activities (86%), followed by monitoring and supervision activities (8%), coordination activities (5%), and training-related activities (1%). Labor (58%) and travel (37%) were the resource inputs that accounted for the majority of the cost, while shares of other resource inputs were marginal (1% for each).
