The Guidelines for the international packaging and shipping of vaccines document has been one of the most widely-used manuals in the field of immunization. It is referenced by UNICEF and PAHO in all their invitations to bid for vaccine supplies and also by countries that directly procure their vaccines. 6th edition (2020) brought considerable changes to the previous ones. The document has been reviewed through two public consultations in 2019 and 2020.
The 2020 edition did not include any guidance on the ultra-low temperature (ULT) vaccine shipments which became a reality with the new COVID-19 vaccines
globally. The 7th edition (2025) now includes ULT vaccine shipments. The 7th edition also went through similar public consultations.
WHO recommends that all United Nations (UN) procurement agencies include the Guidelines for the international packaging and shipping of vaccines as part of the technical specifications and requirements in invitations to bid.
