The resources below are intended to support manufacturers in understanding the markets for immunization devices, especially for those that they are considering for submission for prequalification. They may also be of interest to governments, donors and nongovernmental organizations carrying out or funding procurement of immunization devices.

WHO prequalification is entirely impartial and does not play any role in commercial decision-making. Rather, it is dedicated to maintaining rigorous performance, quality and safety standards of immunization-related products and devices. WHO prequalification therefore does not generate any about product markets, although such information is prepared by other UN entities and partner organizations and may be useful. Links to relevant resources can be found below.
