Multi-Dose Vial Policy (elearning mini-course)

Developed jointly by UNICEF and WHO, this brief \"MDVP\" mini-course provides all partners and staff working to support immunization with a better understanding of the 2014 revision of the Multi-Dose Vial Policy and how to apply it in the real world. With the complexity of today’s vaccine formulations, health workers can no longer assume that all liquid vaccines may be kept open and used for up to 28 days. In order for countries to minimize vaccine waste while at the same ensuring vaccine safety, they need to be able to determine which open vaccine vials can be safely used for extended periods of time. This course provides the know-how to make these determinations. Complete this course by using UNICEF\'s Agora learning system at https://agora.unicef.org/. Select \"login\" and register as a guest.
