• Last Mile Delivery
  • The cost ratio is stark: the cost per vaccinated child in a remote district vastly exceeds the dose cost, exactly as the model predicts

    This sourceEstimates a mean economic delivery cost of roughly $8.65 per dose and ~$112 to fully immunize a hard-to-reach 'zero-dose' child — far exceeding the dose cost (~$1.87/dose in routine settings) — establishing that outreach/cold-chain/staff delivery dominates cost in remote districts.
