Vaccine procurement is a complex issue that interweaves the domains of public health, commodity security, ethics, and procurement. Its cross-disciplinary nature means that neither a straightforward analysis stemming from just one discipline nor a cookie-cutter application of World Bank procurement principles of economy, efficiency, equal opportunity, promoting domestic contracting and transparency will lead to an optimal solution. A more holistic approach is required. The World Bank has therefore historically considered vaccine procurement as 'special' and has allowed for exceptions from its guidelines for World Bank funded vaccine procurement. The study was designed to provide strong operational recommendations for issues such as efficiency, price, quality control, and logistics management. This study is intended mainly for internal purposes to facilitate discussions with Operations Policy and Country Service (OPCS) regarding refining the World Bank's position on procurement or supply of vaccine through United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).CC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTINGADVERTISEMENTAUDITORSAUDITSAVERAGE PRICEAVERAGE PRICESBCGBIDDINGBIOLOGICALSBUDGETINGBUFFER STOCKBUYERBUYERSCAPABILITIESCAPABILITYCAPACITY BUILDINGCENTRAL MEDICAL STORESCERTIFICATECERTIFICATIONCLINICAL TRIALSCOLD CHAINCOLLUSIONCOMMERCIAL AGENTCOMMODITIESCOMMODITYCOMPETITIVE BIDDINGCONFLICT OF INTERESTCOOKIECORRUPTIONCUSTOMDELIVERY OF GOODSDIAGNOSTICSDIARRHOEAL DISEASESDIFFERENTIAL PRICINGDIPHTHERIADOMAINSDRUGSEFFECTIVE VACCINESEMERGENCY RESPONSEEQUIPMENTESSENTIAL DRUGSETHICSEXPENDITUREFILLERSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFIXED COSTFIXED COSTSFOREIGN CURRENCYGLOBAL MARKETGOOD MANUFACTURING PRACTICESGOVERNMENT FUNDINGHEALTH CAREHEALTH WORKERSHEPATITISHEPATITIS B VACCINEHIV/AIDSHOSPITALSHUMAN RESOURCEHUMAN RESOURCE CAPACITYINITIATIVEINSPECTIONINSPECTIONSINSTITUTIONINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSINTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICESINTERNATIONAL SHIPPINGINVENTORYLEADERSHIPMANAGEMENT SERVICESMANUFACTURING INDUSTRIESMARKETINGMARKETPLACEMEASLESMEASLES VACCINESMEDICAL DEVICESMEDICAL STORESMENINGITISMONOPOLYORDER PLACEMENTPACKAGINGPATENTSPAYMENT TERMSPERSONAL COMMUNICATIONPERTUSSISPHARMACEUTICALPHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURINGPHARMACEUTICALSPOLIO ERADICATIONPOLIO VACCINEPOOLED PROCUREMENTPRICE COMPARISONPRIVATE SECTORPROCUREMENTPROCUREMENT POLICIESPROCUREMENT PROCESSPROCUREMENT VALUEPROCUREMENTSPRODUCT QUALITYPRODUCT SPECIFICATIONPRODUCT SPECIFICATIONSPRODUCTION PROCESSPROJECT IMPLEMENTATIONPROTOCOLSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC MONEYSPURCHASINGQUALITY OF VACCINESREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSREGULATORY SYSTEMRELIABILITYRESULTRESULTSRISK FACTORRUBELLASALESALESSITESSPOT MARKETSPREADSTOCK MANAGEMENTSUPERVISIONSUPPLIERSUPPLIERSSUPPLY CHAINSUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENTSYRINGESTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL SKILLSTENDERINGTETANUSTIME PERIODTOXIC SHOCK SYNDROMETRANSPARENCYTUBERCULOSISTURNOVERTURNOVER RATESUSESVACCINATIONVACCINATION CAMPAIGNSVACCINE MANUFACTURERSVACCINE PRODUCTIONVACCINESYELLOW FEVERWorld Bank10.1596/7963
