Case Example: Accelerating NIP Inclusion for a New Vaccine in Colombia
Background and challenges
A multinational subsidiary sought to fast-track the inclusion of a new vaccine into Colombia’s National Immunization Program (NIP). However, the company faced significant hurdles:
- No Previous Experience in the Vaccine Market – Without a track record in the sector, navigating the regulatory and institutional landscape was challenging
- Complex NIP Approval Process – The inclusion process involved multiple formal and informal steps, requiring deep knowledge of key stakeholders and decision-making dynamics
- Need for Strategic Positioning – To succeed, the company needed a clear roadmap based on best practices from previous vaccine approvals
Approach
To develop a winning strategy, we conducted a comprehensive benchmarking study:
- Selected two successful vaccines as reference points to understand what led to their approval
- Performed in-depth desk research to compile public data, media campaigns, and the formal approval pathway within Colombia’s healthcare system
- Conducted expert interviews with vaccine launch teams and key opinion leaders (KOLs) involved in the NIP decision-making process
Results
We developed a well-structured plan for NIP inclusion, ensuring alignment with government expectations and key stakeholder priorities. This approach also positioned the vaccine favorably within Colombia’s main HMOs, facilitating a successful market entry
