Call for resources: ThinkWell is inviting researchers to submit evidence on the cost of delivering immunization services

Linked Network Facilitators

The Immunization Delivery Cost Catalogue (IDCC) is the most comprehensive, standardized global evidence on the cost of delivering vaccines, covering 317 unit costs from 68 studies published between 2005 and early 2019. The IDCC supports global and country immunization stakeholders in answering the question: “What are the unit costs of vaccine delivery across different low and middle-income countries and through various delivery strategies?”

To ensure the IDCC remains current and relevant, ThinkWell is currently updating the systematic review by adding cost evidence published since 2019. We welcome researchers to share with us any studies they have conducted on the cost of delivering immunization. Contributions do not need to have been published in a peer-reviewed journal, and can include reports, presentations, or other kinds of resources as well, as long as they meet the following requirements:

  • Include a unit cost of delivery of immunization services
  • Be based on primary data from a low or middle income country
  • In English, French, Spanish, or Portuguese
  • Published between 2019 and today

We welcome any submissions via immunizationeconomics@thinkwell.global by the 31st of January 2024.
