Pharmacies versus doctors' offices for adolescent vaccination.
This study sought to understand the relative advantage of pharmacies compared to doctors' offices for delivering HPV vaccination to adolescents. The authors concluded that to be more appealing to parents as HPV vaccine providers, pharmacy providers within community and hospital settings should build on their relative advantage with respect to accessibility and enhance their appeal of their healthcare environment.

Projected effectiveness and added value of HIV vaccination campaigns in South Africa: a modeling study.
Sci Rep 2018 Apr 17;8(1):6066. doi: 10.1038/s41598-018-24268-4.
In this paper, the authors estimated the potential epidemiological and economic impact of HIV vaccine campaigns compared to continuous vaccination, assuming that vaccine efficacy was transient and dependent on immune response. The investigators concluded that results suggested a partially effective HIV vaccine would have substantial impact on the HIV epidemic in South Africa and offer good value if priced less than $105 for a five-dose series. They suggested that vaccination campaigns every two years may offer greater value for money than continuous vaccination reaching the same coverage level.

The economic value of increasing geospatial access to tetanus toxoid immunization in Mozambique.
The researchers assessed how well tetanus toxoid (TT) immunization locations meet population demand in Mozambique. They found that TT immunization locations are not geographically accessible by a significant proportion of pregnant women, resulting in substantial healthcare and productivity costs that could potentially be averted by adding or reconfiguring TT immunization locations.

The impact of implementing a demand forecasting system into a low-income country's supply chain.
The authors evaluated the potential impact and value of applications of data from demand forecasting systems implemented in a lower-income country's vaccine supply chain with different levels of population change to urban areas. They used their HERMES software to study Niger's entire vaccine supply chain and found that demand forecasting systems have the potential to greatly improve vaccine demand fulfilment, and decrease logistics cost/dose, when implemented with storage and transportation increases.
