Cost of delivery estimates for new maternal vaccines in Bangladesh, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, and Nepal: Articles and fact sheets

When countries consider introducing new vaccines, immunization program cost and affordability are key questions. Data are limited on what vaccinating pregnant populations costs. To help fill this gap, PATH conducted prospective studies in collaboration with ministries of health and other partners to understand cost of delivery and introduction implications for new vaccines given in pregnancy in Bangladesh, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, and Nepal. The estimates will help inform policy decisions in low- and middle-income countries where maternal immunization-preventable diseases often hit hardest.

Find here links to the peer-reviewed journal articles and fact sheets summarizing the research from Kenya, Ghana, and Mozambique. Publication of the Bangladesh and Nepal results is forthcoming. (Materials available in English and, as applicable, in Portuguese.)
