The MODEL GUIDANCE (Annex 9) WHO Technical Report Series, no.961, 2011

GUIDELINES – Tell only WHAT needs to be done

“The intention is that the guidance in this document should be directly applicable in less-developed countries as well as in the industrialized world. To this end, supplementary materials will be developed to show how the requirements can practicably be achieved, particularly in resource constrained settings. Experience with vaccine supply chain assessments in many less-developed countries demonstrates that the mandatory standards set out in this document can be achieved, and that some countries are also capable of meeting many of the optional requirements.” page 328
