Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
What is the difference in performance of ILRs of different manufacturers and types in terms of hold over time, Capacity to control the cold chain temperature, Reliability of temperature indicator of ILR, Ease of use, Vaccine Wastage of unopen time due to change in VVM, total cost to owner, Frequency of breakdown, Time after opening the door until the vial temperature exceeds 8 degree, Effect of power outage/door opening, technology used, Certification and WHO PQS status etc. of different ILR may vary as per their build, models and manufacturers.Timepoint: What is the difference in performance of ILRs of different manufacturers and types in terms of hold over time, Capacity to control the cold chain temperature, Reliability of temperature indicator of ILR, Ease of use, Vaccine Wastage of unopen time due to change in VVM, total cost to owner, Frequency of breakdown, Time after opening the door until the vial temperature exceeds 8 degree, Effect of power outage/door opening, technology used, Certification and WHO PQS status etc. of different ILR may vary as per their build, models and manufacturers.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The expected outcome of this study is to provide valuable insights into the effectiveness and suitability of different ILRs used in the UIP. This information can guide the government in making procurement decisions for ILRs, ensuring the safe storage and transportation of vaccines in the cold chain system.Timepoint: 12 Months
