A dedicated place for anyone interested in global health and demography to quickly find and share information about data along with actual datasets. Provides information on the burden of disease...
Il s’agit d’un outil simple dans Excel qui permet d’évaluer et de comparer les coûts des programmes de vaccination antirotavirus pour chaque vaccin antirotavirus disponible sur le marché...
Il s’agit d’un outil simple dans Excel qui permet d’évaluer et de comparer les coûts des programmes de vaccination VPC (vaccin pneumococcique conjugué) sur un an et sur une période totale...
The COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission substantially affected health services worldwide. To better understand the impact of the pandemic on childhood routine...
Key stakeholders from Ministries of Health and immunization programs identified bottlenecks in the current iSC and prioritized five general design scenarios to model in each country. Scenarios...
The past two decades have seen expansion of childhood vaccination programmes in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study quantifies the health impact of these programmes by...
To help immunization stakeholders make effective DPC decisions for their country context, the Dose Per Container Partnership (DPCP) has developed generalized information based on the partnership’s...
This resource is a culmination of DPCP research results to provide decision makers with evidence that can be generalized to other countries when considering vaccine presentation.

Modeling to Support Decision-Making for 5-dose Measles-Rubella Routine Vaccination in Zambia
Jo Gwillim from Dulas Ltd presents an overview of the design challenges and solar sizing methodology used to ensure the new generation of Solar Direct Drive cold chain equipment perform reliably in...
The Guidance was developed by the WHO-UNICEF Immunization Supply Chain and Logistics Hub and is aligned with the “Joint Statement on Comprehensive EVM”. This guidance document aims to support...
Background
Despite the existence of effective prevention and treatment interventions, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection continues to cause nearly 1 million deaths each year. WHO aspires to global...
This report from VillageReach offers detailed analysis and lessons learned from over a decade of working with the Mozambique Ministry of Health to implement comprehensive iSC changes leading to a...
Long-term forecasts of mortality and disease burden are essential for setting current and future health system priorities, yet few forecasts cover a wide range of nations over a long span of time....
The potential benefits of coordinating infectious disease eradication programs that use campaigns such as supplementary immunization activities (SIAs) should not be over-looked. One example of a...
Immunization policymakers at global and local levels need to establish priorities among new vaccines competing for limited resources. However, comparison of the potential impact of single vaccination...
Pneumococcal disease is the leading cause of vaccine-preventable death in children younger than 5 years of age worldwide. The World Health Organization recommends pneumococcal conjugate vaccine as a...
During 1999-2003, Japan experienced a series of measles epidemics, and in Action Plans to Control Measles and the Future Problems, it was proposed that infants be immunized soon after their one-year...
Single-dose vaccine formats can prevent clinic-level vaccine wastage but may incur higher production, medical waste disposal, and storage costs than multi-dose formats. To help guide vaccine...
Background: The 2014 West African Ebola outbreak has evolved into an epidemic of historical proportions and catastrophic scope. Prior outbreaks have been contained through the use of personal...
An efficient algorithm that can properly identify the targets to immunize or quarantine for preventing an epidemic in a population without knowing the global structural information is of obvious...
It is perhaps surprising to state that we have an extremely poor knowledge of the global distribution of the vast majority of infectious diseases [1]. A review of all infectious diseases of clinical...
In this paper we discuss the SIMID tool for simulation of the spread of infectious disease, enabling spatio-temporal visualization of the dynamics of influenza outbreaks. SIMID is based on modern...
The \"endgame\" for worldwide poliomyelitis eradication will entail eventual cessation of the use of oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) in all countries to prevent the reintroduction of vaccine-derived...
Pertussis or whooping cough is a vaccine-preventable respiratory disease that has reemerged in the past decades. A higher morbidity and mortality has been recorded in infants, although cases have...
Despite long-standing two-dose measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination, measles outbreaks still occur in highly vaccinated European populations. For instance, large measles outbreaks occurred in...
VaCRO is an Excel based tool that helps clinicians minimize open vial waste while maximizing immunization coverage by using the mathematical models to determine cut-off times for which it is optimal...
OBJECTIVE: To develop a method to estimate vaccination coverage using both a computerized vaccine registry with an unknown underreporting rate and a seroprevalence study. A real example of a...
Information on population health indicators in India come from a number of surveys that vary in periodicity- scope and detail. In the case of immunization- the most recent coverage indicators are...
