How changing vial size can improve your immunization services (16th TechNet Conference)

With COVID demanding smaller session sizes, it is more important than ever to consider smaller vaccine vial size to better tailor to session sizes.This presentation will share results from an implementation study on 5-dose MR in Zambia. Results showed increased coverage for both MR1 and MR2, lower wastage rates, and no cold chain constraints at the facility level. The results are timely and are supported by a guidance document to help decision makers consider the change.
