Sierra Leone

Immunization spending

In 2001, the pre-GAVI Fund year, Sierra Leone spent $2.7 million on programme-specific expenditures for routine immunization services and an additional $1.3 million on supplementary immunization. The programme-specific spending on routine immunization service equated to about $22.2 per DTP3 vaccinated child or $0.56 per capita. Programme-specific spending on routine immunization increased by 30% in 2003, the first year of GAVI Fund support, due to an increase in expenditures on vaccines, injection equipment, transport, monitoring and overhead, and cold chain equipment.
