Prefilled syringes versus vials: Impact on vaccination efficiency and patient safety in Indian private market

Conclusions Compared with vials, PFS are productivity enhancers, as they decrease time required to perform vaccinations and reduce wastage. PFS are also risk reducers, as they reduced the occurrence of handling errors and associated health hazard risks by a factor of 3. Actual cost comparison was not part of the study. But this study has shown that use of PFS is associated with cost reduction in terms of saving time correlated with man hours and reducing wastage.
