Introduction:

The Vaccine Logistics Management Information System (vLMIS) is an extension of the Logistics Management Information System (LMIS) and is designed to replace the current paper based logistics information system that is being used for managing the vaccine distribution and logistics. It introduces systematic vaccine product management and create sustainable dependencies among different vaccine procurement procedures and geographical level operations.

The Vaccine Logistics Management Information System (vLMIS) is designed to monitor and manage the distribution of vaccines nationwide. The system efficiently tracks the movement of vaccines from central storage facility to the health facility level. The system also provides real-time information on the availability of vaccines at each stage of supply chain that contributes in making informed decisions in terms of distribution and delivery.

It is easy to use and contextualized to fit local stakeholder’s structure and the devolution of health and population programs to provincial governments. The system brings in district and EPI-level reporting by aggregating facility-level data through paper-based reports. With a unified system for reporting and requisitioning, the vLMIS system is able to integrate information from all levels and sectors.
