Vaccination Program Logistics: Doses, Wastage, Cold Chain & Clinic Capacity
Plan a vaccination campaign by the numbers: target population and coverage goals, doses with schedules and drop-out, wastage rate and wastage factor with multi-dose vials, cold-chain litres vs fridge capacity, clinic throughput, appointment no-show buffers, weeks of stock and reorder points, and a coverage tracking chart – 8 labs on one fictional district with a generic Vaccine X, every cell checked instantly. Logistics practice only, not medical guidance.

About this course
A vaccination program logistics course that plans the campaign of one fictional district with a generic Vaccine X in a spreadsheet, for public health students, program managers and supply chain planners. You turn the district population into a target population and coverage goals by age group, convert people into doses with schedules and drop-out, calculate the wastage rate and wastage factor and see how session size drives wastage with 10-dose vials, convert stock into litres of cold storage against fridge capacity, work out clinic throughput and the vaccinators needed to finish in 40 days, book enough appointments to cover no-shows, set weeks of stock, reorder points and order quantities in whole boxes and track dose-1 and full coverage on a dashboard. Logistics practice only, not medical guidance. The first lab is free.
