| Resource | Special Issue of Vaccine on Building Next Generation Immunization Supply Chains |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Outlines innovations required to transform existing systems to next generation supply chains that are ready for implementation. |
| Content | Collection of articles that discuss innovations required to transform existing systems to next-generation supply chains are known and ready for implementation at scale. They employ the latest refrigeration and monitoring technologies and reflect new strategies for transport, management, and data tracking. |
| Expected outcomes | Installation of supply chain innovations through reference to peer reviewed evidence, which will result in expanded access to quality vaccines by the population. |
| Strengths | Supply chain plans can be informed by latest published evidence on supply chain innovations. |
| Contraints/Limitations | Evidence of the effectiveness of innovations in supply chain systems need to be periodically updated. |
| Why use it | Provides information on next generation of supply chains as of 2017. Immunization services will continue to require storage and transport capacity to manage four times the volume of traditional vaccines. Storing and transporting a larger number of vaccines to more delivery points requires innovations and expansion of supply chains. Innovations in supply chains increase vaccine availability at the point of use and improve equity in coverage, and will also help to ensure the timely introduction of new vaccines. |
| Who should use it | Global, Regional and National technical advisers, managers, and policy makers. |
