| Resource | Economics of reaching zero-dose children |
|---|---|
| Purpose | This resource focuses on estimating the costs associated with reaching "zero-dose children"—those who have not received any routine vaccines. It aims to provide an understanding of the financial resources required to extend immunization services to these children, particularly in hard-to-reach areas and underserved populations. |
| Content | The resource summarizes all planned, ongoing and completed work focused on zero-dose economics. It includes principles, methodology and data on zero-dose costing and other related economics evidence. |
| Use | Policymakers, immunization program managers, and global health organizations can use this resource to plan and allocate resources effectively in order to reach zero-dose children. It helps in budgeting and designing strategies to close immunization gaps and achieve equity in vaccine coverage, which is a key goal of the Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030). |
| Contraints/Limitations | The methodology of zero-dose costing is still evolving. The resources on this page will continue expand. The cost estimates may vary based on local factors such as geographical challenges, political instability, or variations in healthcare infrastructure. Additionally, reaching zero-dose children often involves addressing broader systemic issues (e.g., health worker shortages, security concerns) that may not be fully accounted for in the cost analysis. |
