在未来十年，至少有12种针对伤寒、疟疾和登革热等疾病的疫苗将提供给中低收入国家。这些疫苗必须沿着所谓的供应链运输，供应链包括所有人员、系统、设备和活动，以确保疫苗从生产点有效地交付给需要疫苗的人。但由于各种原因，许多发展中国家的供应链已经紧张，可能无法分发新疫苗将使生命处于危险之中。在加强全球疫苗供应链所需的许多步骤中，我们建议国际社会努力改善捐赠和运送疫苗的组织与接收和分发疫苗的东道国官员之间的协调，并更好地培训供应链管理人员。
In the next decade, at least twelve additional vaccines that target such diseases as typhoid, malaria, and dengue will become available to lower-and middle-income countries. These vaccines must travel along what are called supply chains, which include all personnel, systems, equipment, and activities involved in ensuring that vaccines are effectively delivered from the point of production to the people who need them. But for various reasons, supply chains are already strained in many developing countries, and the potential inability to distribute new vaccines will place lives at risk. Among the many steps needed to strengthen the global vaccine supply chain, we suggest that the international community pursue improved coordination between organizations that donate and ship vaccines and the host-country officials who receive and distribute the vaccines, as well as better training for supply-chain managers.
