  1. Base case (realistic vaccination campaign) and Standard and Optimized scenarios
  2. Most of these values were obtained after calculating weighted averages or simple averages. Please see “Methods” section and Additional file 1 for methodological approach, sources, and disaggregated data
  3. (*) Total costs per vaccine finally applied include the cost of vaccine per unit, logistics costs, storage and distribution costs which were already described in the “Methods” section
  4. DSA: deterministic sensitivity analysis
  5. Costs are expressed in US dollars for November 2021
