Accessing Affordable and Timely Supply of Vaccines for use in Humanitarian Emergencies: the Humanitarian Mechanism

Overview

The Humanitarian Mechanism sets forth requirements for vaccine supply in emergencies, elements
for effective and efficient vaccine procurement in emergencies, and a modality for management of
requests aligned with the mechanism. The main aim is to facilitate timely access to affordable supply
for entities such as Civil Society Organizations, Governments or UN Agencies who are procuring on
behalf of populations facing humanitarian emergencies who otherwise do not have access to
affordable vaccines.
