Getting vaccines from point A to point B requires a group of stakeholders, rigorous logistical planning, and the mobilization of trusted vaccine ambassadors.

For many people, the process of getting vaccinated begins and ends at some sort of health facility, where a health care worker sanitizes their arm before injecting a vaccine and sending them on their way.

But in reality, that’s just the end of the line for that vaccine. What it took to get that dose from point A to point B is a whole lot more complicated than simply ordering vaccines, having them delivered, and then having them administered — especially if they are being administered in a rural, hard-to-reach community.

A conglomerate of stakeholders are involved in the process of getting vaccine doses from a manufacturing center, to the airport, onto the ground of the receiving country, and finally to the clinics or mobile sites of local communities. It is a process that requires meticulous documentation and monitoring, rigorous logistical planning, and the mobilization of trusted community members who serve as vaccine ambassadors.
