Successful immunization programmes are built on functional, end-to-end supply chain and logistics systems.
These systems enable effective vaccine storage, distribution, handling, and management, ensure rigorous temperature control in the cold chain; and leverage logistics management information systems to promote resilient and efficient system performance.
The ultimate goal is to ensure the uninterrupted availability of quality vaccines from manufacturer to service-delivery levels, so that opportunities to vaccinate are not missed because vaccines are unavailable.
The procedures outlined here will guide the users to ensure they plan, order, receive vaccines in a timely manner and ensure that quality is not compromised.
