These Vaccine Cost Calculators allow users to assess and compare costs of certain vaccination programs with each vaccine product available in the global market. These Excel-based tools are available in multiple languages for rotavirus vaccines, pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, and human papillomavirus vaccines, there are also tools for costing pneumococcal conjugate vaccines and rotavirus vaccines specifically for middle-income countries [PATH, 2024].
The WHO Cervical Cancer Prevention and Control Costing tool HPV vaccination module (C4P-HPV tool) can be used to project or retrospectively cost HPV vaccine introduction. An e-course on how to use this module is also available [WHO, 2023].
The WHO Flutool plus – Seasonal Influenza Immunization Costing Tool (SIICT) helps to project total costs of influenza vaccine introduction for different risk groups by type of delivery strategy over a period of up to five years. A user manual and an e-course on how to use this tool are also available [WHO, 2023]
The WHO Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine (TCV) Costing Tool estimates the incremental resources required to introduce TCV into an existing programme and deliver the vaccine over a given period. There are versions for projection costing and retrospective costing [WHO, 2023].
The Malaria Vaccine Introduction Costing Tool (MVICT) is a template for estimating the projected or actual cost of a malaria vaccination programme [PATH, 2023].
CholTool estimates delivery cost which include both the service delivery costs and the programmatic costs associated with introducing the oral cholera vaccine from the health payer perspective [IVI & WHO, 2023].
This study protocol describes the generalized approach for COVID-19 vaccine delivery costing studies, discussing scope, methods, and expected outputs. Due to the diverse range of vaccine roll-out modalities, this protocol will require tailored research approaches in the setting that it is used [ThinkWell, 2021].
Examples of data collection templates used in bottom-up COVID-19 vaccine delivery costing studies in the DRC (in French), Mozambique (in Portuguese) and Uganda (in English). Includes tools at various administrative levels from implementation to national level [ThinkWell, 2023].
The template captures both the set-up and monthly recurrent costs of running sites for delivering COVID-19, and generates a total budget and budget per dose broken down by different cost categories. You can download the template in either English or French below, and a live video demo can be viewed here. [UNICEF, 2022].
The COVID-19 Vaccine Introduction and deployment Costing tool (CVIC tool) estimates the incremental costs of delivering COVID-19 vaccines [WHO, 2022].
