Estimated financial cost of materials per vaccine dose (syringes, needles, safety box) (in USD)
If procuring through UNICEF SD: a box of 100 AD syringes with needles (0.5 ml) is priced at approximately $4.50, equating to $0.045 per syringe with needle; a box of 25 safety boxes (each with a 5-liter capacity) for about $20.26, resulting in approximately $0.81 per safety box. Each 5-liter safety box can hold around 100 syringes, leading to a disposal cost of approximately $0.008 per syringe.
Combining these costs, the estimated material cost per HPV vaccine dose is approximately $0.053 (i.e., $0.045 for the syringe and needle plus $0.008 for the share of the safety box).
