Vaccination and Modelling and Economic Evaluation

What we do

The focus of the Vaccination and Modelling and Economic Evaluation theme is to develop vaccine impact models to understand the immunological, epidemiological, and economic dynamics of vaccination, and generate evidence to inform vaccine policy and practice at the global, regional, and national levels. 

The research portfolio includes:

  • Optimising vaccination strategies for control and elimination of immunizing infections
  • Immune response dynamics pre- and post-vaccination
  • Epidemiological and economic impact of vaccination programmes
  • Global, regional, and country-specific decisions about vaccination
  • Inform potential future investments and vaccine scale-up opportunities
  • Impact of vaccines on antimicrobial resistance

Collaboration

Modellers here work closely with a multidisciplinary group of researchers interested in vaccines, including epidemiologists, biostatisticians, social science researchers, computer scientists, and clinicians. We welcome collaborations related to vaccine modelling, and you are welcome to directly contact the members.

Monthly meetings

Most members are also part of the Modelling and Economic Evaluation of Vaccines group and meet on a monthly basis, 1st Wednesday of the month at 11:30AM, and all interested are welcome to attend (subscribe to the mailing list for monthly meeting announcements).
