Project

Improving (cost-) effectiveness analyses of rotavirus vaccination programmes: combining dynamic modelling with in-depth uncertainty analysis.

Research objectives General research objective - To advance the field of health economics of vaccines with respectto transmission-dynamic modelling and uncertainty analysis. This will be done by applying the most advanced techniques within these two key-areas to the real-world example of rotavirus disease and vaccination.Specific research objective - In particular, the proposed project aims to develop a model which best represents current knowledge on rotavirus infection and vaccination (including herd immunity and genotype replacement), and to determine the uncertainties that influence the most the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a universal rotavirus vaccination programme.
