AB - This work develops a multi-product MILP vaccine supply chain model that supports planning, distribution, and administration of viral vectors and RNA-based vaccines. The capability of the proposed vaccine supply chain model is illustrated using a real-world case study on vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 in the UK that concerns both viral vectors (e.g., AZD1222 developed by Oxford-AstraZeneca) and RNA-based vaccine (e.g., BNT162b2 developed by Pfizer-BioNTech). A comparison is made between the resources required and logistics costs when viral vectors and RNA vaccines are used during the SARS-CoV-2 vaccination campaign. Analysis of results shows that the logistics cost of RNA vaccines is 85% greater than that of viral vectors, and that transportation cost dominates logistics cost of RNA vaccines compared to viral vectors.
