Dataset for The cost of delivering COVID-19 vaccines in the Philippines

This study is part of a multi-country research project that utilizes standardized methods to generate cost evidence on the delivery of COVID-19 (C19) vaccines in Vietnam, Bangladesh, and the Philippines in Asia, and Mozambique, Côte d’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Uganda in Africa. This was a retrospective, bottom-up costing study that estimated the financial and economic costs of delivering C19 vaccines during the first National Vaccination Days (NVDs) held in November-December 2021 and a period of routine-style delivery from May-July 2022. The study was conducted from a payer perspective, including costs incurred by health service providers and development partners at all levels of the health system. Data was collected retrospectively in August-September 2022 from a purposively selected sample of 28 implementation units which oversaw approximately 496 vaccination sites, as well as from provincial and regional offices, the National Vaccination Operations Center and development partners.
