Vaccines, Vaccination and Immunization

Cold Chain, Storage and Vaccine Delivery Systems

This session will focus on the systems required to safely store, transport, and deliver vaccines from manufacturers to vaccination sites. Topics will include temperature monitoring, cold-chain infrastructure, transportation, storage technologies, last-mile delivery, inventory management, and innovative distribution systems. Experts will discuss challenges associated with maintaining vaccine quality in remote and resource-limited settings. The session may also examine new approaches such as temperature-stable formulations, digital monitoring technologies, solar-powered refrigeration, and improved logistics systems. Researchers and programme managers can share practical experiences and implementation findings. The session will bring together supply-chain specialists, immunization managers, public-health professionals, engineers, logistics companies, vaccine manufacturers, and healthcare organizations to discuss approaches for strengthening reliable and efficient vaccine delivery systems.
