Abstract
Background: National immunization program staff have limited prior training in economics, despite a need to make difficult economic choices in financing and operating their programs. Teaching Vaccine Economics Everywhere (TVEE) is an international consortium of 4 universities that provides vaccine economics and financing training to mid-career immunization program managers and policy-makers in lowand middle-income countries. Since 2017, TVEE has provided short training workshops at four regional hubs using a curriculum developed using real data and scenarios tailored to region-specific needs. The study aims to evaluate program impact of the first 2 years. Methods: The impact of the program was evaluated based on the Kirkpatrick Model. The survey was developed and distributed using Qualtrics to all participants from all J Glob Health Sci. 2019 Dec;1(2):e48 https://doi.org/10.35500/jghs.2019.1.e48 pISSN 2671-6925·eISSN 2671-6933
