OVERVIEW:

To support Gavi-eligible countries as they put in place interventions to maintain, restore, and strengthen their immunization services and catch up missed children, Gavi has prepared a catalog of 21 innovations that countries could consider, depending on their specific needs and context. It includes innovations that address COVID-19 related needs such as preparing frontline health workers for the “new normal” of immunization and ensuring effective cold chain and logistics post pandemic. The innovations included in the catalog have been tested in developing country settings, have reached a certain level of maturity, and would have a reasonable timeline to be implemented in light of the pandemic.
