Anticipated risks related to Covax Logistics operations

Risks Mitigations

Supply chain timelines- Alignment of vaccines & immunization supplies

Prepositioning & early ordering of injection devices and wastemanagement supplies

Supply chain shortages:- pallet shippers, dry ice, UCC equipment

Working with manufacturers and logistics service providers

Capacity limitations:- airfreight capacity- transit airports cold storage- Dry ice limitations on flights

Mapping of logistics operationPro-active communication with LSPsIdentification of transit hubsCollaboration with industry association

Access constraints:- Lockdowns- Destinations not reached by commercial airlines- Regulatory / Customs clearance issues

Mapping of access constraints, charter needsCountry presence and readiness activities for advocacy,special permits, experience in customs clearance of vaccinesand immunization supplies
