Global Issues in Comparing Vaccination Strategies Dr Lara Wolfson Vaccine Assessment & Monitoring Department of Immunization, Vaccines & Biologicals Vaccination Strategies: WHO • Overview of work at WHO • Examples of current work • Unmet needs Measuring Mortality and Morbidity 1. 2. 3. 4. Estimates of current disease burden for vaccinepreventable diseases Forecasts of future disease burden & cost-effectiveness under different vaccination scenarios Methods and Materials to assist RO’s and countries in estimation and forecasting of disease burden, introduction of new vaccines, costeffectiveness assessments Support to users of burden of disease data, technical assistance for costeffectiveness Innovation Accelerated Disease Control Immunization Systems Estimating (Total) Mortality at WHO Complete vital registration Age-specific mortality rates DHS and other surveys No recent data UN estimates Incomplete vital registration Sample registration system Censuses Independent studies / reports / models 5q0 45q15 Life tables UN population estimates All-cause mortality envelope by age and sex Epidemiological data from studies, verbal autopsies, WHO programme estimates (child, maternal, injuries, noncommunicable, TB, HIV/AIDS) Cause-specific mortality patterns Country level age, sex and cause specific mortality estimates Vaccine-Preventable Diseases: 24% PertussisTetanus Diphtheria 0.52% 0.37% 0.01% Mening A/C 0.05% Polio JE 0.00%0.02% YF 0.05% Hib 0.68% Rotavirus 0.79% Hepatitis B 1.05% Measles 1.07% Malaria 2.23% Diarrhoea (other) TB 2.37% 2.75% Pneumococcal 2.83% ALRI (Other) 3.56% Other 76.77% HIV 4.87% Causes of 4.1 M Child Deaths, 2002 YF, Diphtheria, Polio, Hepatitis B 0% Malaria 29% Tetanus 5% Pertussis 7% Hib 9% HIV 9% Measles 13% TB 1% Meningococcal A/C, JE <1% Rotavirus 10% Pneumococcal 17% Proportional Mortality Approaches Overall mortality Noninfectious Infectious Diarrhoea ARI Croup Acute bronchitis Pneumonia Viral RSV Bacterial Influenza S. pneumoniae Hib Natural History Approaches Population Susceptible Exposed Infected Hib Unexposed Non infected No access to health care Access to health care Untreated pneumonia Treated pneumonia Bacterial Viral S. pneumoniae Non susceptible Looking at all the sources of data Method 1 Best estimate Method 2 Method 3 Sensitivity analysis General Approach • Get best data/information (literature/grey literature review) • Primary data • Secondary data • Seek expert advise/opinion • natural history of the disease • methods/models • context • Develop consultative process with ROs/countries • Develop best methods/models • Use best assumptions/probabilities • Conduct sensitivity analysis • Validate/check consistency & coherence • Document (explicit & transparent) • Subject to in-house review, then expert review Expected Outputs • Burden of Disease Estimates – By country, age group, sex, year – With estimates of uncertainty, document methods – Country consultation, continuous update of inputs (?!?) • "Scenarios" (aka Comparing Strategies) – Recommendations for best practice – Tools for use at country level – Provide support to advocacy efforts • Cost-Effectiveness – Tools and guidelines, training, support HQ produces burden of disease estimates Publish methods, database Of results, inputs Country clearance Simultaneous Develop scenario models And database of inputs Publish tools Country Requests CEA assistance Develop costing tools and guidelines IF!
