The main source of funding for the National Immunization Program (NIP) in Colombia is general taxes, although there are also limited contributions from the sub-national level for program management.
The Ministry of Health and Social Protection manages all NIP procurement using the Pan American Health Organization’s Revolving Fund to purchase vaccines because of its low prices and ease of use, rather than negotiating prices with multiple manufacturers.
The departments and municipalities are in charge of program implementation and the Health Promoting Entities reimburse for the provision of this service.
