India has one of the largest Universal Immunization Programs (UIP) in the world and is available for all children in the country free of charge. Since its inception, it is accomplishing a desired aim of child survival interventions to bring about eloquent scaling down childhood infectious diseases burden and its residual outcomes. Vaccine wastage is an important factor in forecasting vaccine needs. The aim is to calculate the vaccine wastage rates in primary health care setting in central rural…

Vaccine Wastage: Associated Risk Factors and Policy Implications in the Littoral Region of Cameroon: A Retrospective Data Review

Assessment of vaccine wastage for different site settings, seasonality, and vaccine types in comparison to vaccination coverage in Cameroon found the VWR was the highest in the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine, followed by measles and rubella and yellow fever vaccines.

Small Session Size and Big Vial Size: Operational Research Assessing Open Vial Vaccine Wastage at the Service Delivery Points in the Mandalay Region of Myanmar During 2018

The vaccine wastage rates for Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG), inactivated polio vaccine, and measles-rubella were higher than the WHO indicative rates, and better micro-planning to increase the session size and procuring vaccines with smaller vial sizes needs to be tested as a strategy to reduce vaccine wastages.
