Pakistan’s Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) has launched a five‑day training workshop focused on strengthening vaccine supply chain systems and data management. Aimed at equipping provincial and district EPI managers, logisticians, and monitoring officers with advanced skills, this initiative seeks to ensure more efficient cold chain operations, accurate stock tracking, and seamless data-driven decision-making.

Participants will explore best practices in vaccine forecasting, warehouse management, temperature monitoring, digital record-keeping, and data analysis. The workshop emphasizes the adoption of digital tools and real-time monitoring dashboards to reduce stock-outs and vaccine wastage while enhancing coverage and service delivery.

By building local expertise and standardizing supply chain protocols, this training aims to support Pakistan’s immunization goals, accelerate disease prevention efforts, and reinforce the integrity of public health systems. The workshop marks a key step toward ensuring uninterrupted vaccine availability and informed planning across all vaccination centers.
