Guidance Manual on Forecasting and Supply Planning for Vaccines and other Immunization Supplies
This guidance manual is developed in response to the need to strengthen national-level Forecasting and Supply Planning (FSP) processes with particular emphasis on achieving equity and reaching zero-dose children. By following and adapting the principles discussed in this guidance, countries will improve the accuracy of their forecast and supply plan, thereby ensuring the timely availability of quality products where they are needed.
This guidance manual is developed primarily to guide FSP for vaccines and immunization supplies at the national level, while considering programme implementation realities across all supply chain levels.
