Abstract
Market shaping: access to low and sustainable vaccine prices
Achieving low and sustainable vaccine prices for GAVI-eligible countries is one way of making donor money go further and increases the ability of countries to fund vaccines in the long-term. Lower vaccine prices allow more children to be immunised with a given amount of resources. An active approach to market shaping is essential to achieve this objective. As part of its 2011-2015 strategic plan implementation, the Alliance is redesigning its supply and procurement strategy and market shaping activities. The specific ambitions are to minimise the vaccine cost to GAVI and countries, while providing a sufficient and uninterrupted supply of quality vaccines and fostering an environment for innovation.
