About This Group
A community of practice and resource portal for professionals supporting national immunisation
Our Story
The Vaccine Procurement Practitioners Network (VPPN) is a community of government officials and technical experts, dedicated to exchange knowledge supporting national vaccine procurement. The VPPN allows members to connect and learn from each other’s experiences and best practices through online events. The network was established in 2015, following the first Vaccine Procurement Forum (VPF) – previously called the Vaccine Procurement Practitioners Exchange Forum (VPPEF) – hosted by UNICEF Supply Division in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Our Purpose
The purpose of the VPPN is to improve vaccine procurement outcomes for children's health, by coming together as a global membership and openly sharing practical experiences and lessons learnt that allow to strengthen country-driven strategic vaccine procurement and innovation.
Through the VPPN, members have an opportunity to further develop their vaccine procurement capacity and engage in peer-to-peer dialogue.
