The session’s discussion highlighted supply dynamics and market diversification for HPV vaccines, with UNICEF confirming five WHO-prequalified products currently available and several others in the pipeline, including a quadrivalent vaccine from SII. Participants raised questions on whether increased suppliers could reduce prices and how demand fluctuations after multi-age cohorts might affect costs. Indonesia and Lao […]
Topic: HPV Vaccine Procurement
Gavi transition and MICs countries pricing
The UNICEF presentation provided an overview of the global HPV vaccine market, highlighting ongoing supply constraints since 2017 and expected stabilization by 2026. It detailed the five WHO-prequalified vaccines available for procurement, including products from GSK, Merck, Innovax, and the newly added Yuxi Zerun. The session reviewed long-term agreements (LTAs) for both Gavi-supported and middle-income […]
HPV vaccine cost and procurement – transitioning out of Gavi support and self-procurement
The Indonesian experience in HPV vaccine procurement highlights the transition from Gavi support to full self-financing within the national immunization program. Facing high cervical cancer incidence, the country initiated phased rollouts since 2016, progressing to nationwide coverage in 2022. Post-Gavi strategies include technology transfer to Biofarma for local vaccine production and cost reduction. Key challenges […]
Accelerated Gavi transitioning experience and HPV vaccine procurement experience
Lao PDR is undergoing a phased transition from Gavi-supported vaccine financing toward full self-financing by 2025, with projected co-financing obligations steadily increasing. HPV vaccination, introduced in 2020 and procured through UNICEF, targets 10-year-old girls with a single-dose schedule, requiring fewer than 100,000 doses annually at an estimated cost of USD 500,000. The country has consistently […]
Monitoring Temperature Excursions in HPV Vaccine Management in Indonesia: Insights from Internet of Things Digitalization
The study explores Indonesia’s use of IoT-based digital monitoring through the SMILE system to track HPV vaccine storage temperatures. Between July and December 2023, frequent temperature deviations below 2°C and above 8°C were recorded, largely due to increased vaccine volumes from school-based immunization and limited cold chain capacity at Public Health Centers. Data from 21 […]
