Vaccine Funding
In their new Health Affairs article, Salin Sriudomporn and coauthors estimate the vaccine acquisition and delivery costs for sixteen vaccines, and the projected financing and funding gap for ninety-four low- and middle-income countries, from 2011 to 2030.

Sriudomporn and coauthors’ findings indicate an "upward trend in the funding gap for immunization programs," caused primarily by the cost of vaccine delivery, which accounts for 86 percent of the total gap compared with only 14 percent for vaccine acquisitio.

Furthermore, based on the assumption that the use of oral polio vaccine is expected to be withdrawn worldwide in 2024, the authors estimate that "the total cost of immunization programs will increase significantly until 2023 and then fall beginning in 2024."

Sriudomporn and coauthors conclude that their results emphasize a need for sustainable financial strategies for immunization programs nationally and globally.
