Estimated public health impact of human rotavirus vaccine (HRV) and pneumococcal polysaccharide protein D-conjugate vaccine (PHiD-CV) on child morbidity and mortality in Gavi-supported countries.

ABSTRACT: Vaccine impact models against rotavirus disease (RD) and pneumococcal disease (PD) in low- and middle-income countries assume vaccine coverage based on other vaccines. We propose to assess the impact on severe disease cases and deaths avoided based on vaccine doses delivered by one manufacturer to Gavi-supported countries. From the number of human rotavirus vaccine (HRV) and pneumococcal polysaccharide protein D-conjugate vaccine (PHiD-CV) doses delivered, we estimated the averted burden of disease 1) in a specific year and 2) for all children vaccinated during the study period followed-up until 5 years (y) of age. Uncertainty of the estimated impact was assessed in a probabilistic sensitivity analysis using Monte-Carlo simulations to provide 95% confidence intervals. From 2009 to 2019, ap
