UNIVAC

UNIVAC is a single universal vaccine impact and cost-effectiveness decision support model with a standardized, accessible Excel-based (now based in R), interface and a familiar set of input steps and outputs. Input estimates of age-specific disease burden, age/dose specific vaccine coverage and effectiveness allow for a simple evaluation of direct vaccination impact on health outcomes. Additional input parameters can be included to evaluate indirect effects, which may be important for the evaluation of several vaccines. The tool features automated calculations, options for sensitivity analysis and automatically generated results charts and figures. The primary audience is national multi-disciplinary teams of Ministries of Health personnel. Secondary audiences are national, regional and international academics, donors and partner institutions.
