4 Accelerating Policy
5 Priorities HPV vaccine and cervical cancer AGE SPECIFIC MORTALITY RATES Cervical Cancer Disease N. America Burden Taking advantage of new Cen. America technologies while Caribbean enhancing approaches to So. America screening to reduce 77, new cases per year mortality of this disease of 33, deaths per year poverty Reducing the developing country uptake time lag >2 decades AGE GROUP [years] Source: IARC 24 estimates
6 47th Directing Council, September 26 Urged Member States to: Expand legal and fiscal space and identify new revenue sources to sustainably finance the introduction of new vaccines against rotavirus, pneumococcus, influenza, and human papillomavirus; Support the mortality reduction targets, consistent with GIVS and the MDGs, for HPV, RV, influenza, and pneumo associated disease; Utilize the PAHO Revolving Fund for Vaccine procurement to purchase new and underutilized vaccines

9 Tools for Economic Analysis Vaccine Intro Costs Tool Burden of Disease Tools Costs Health Gains Cost Effectiveness Studies HPV Cost Effectiveness Studies Influenza Economic Analysis Cost Effectiveness Studies Rotavirus Cost Effectiveness Studies Pneumococcus
10 Cost Effectiveness and Affordability Cost effectiveness attempts to define the value of an intervention Affordability refers to the implications on the actual budget Example (Goldie et al, Vaccine 28): Price per dose Cost effectiveness Budget* $ 5. < $4 to avert DALY $36 million $12.25 < $8 $811 million $19.5 <$1,4 $1.26 billion *Financial cost to vaccinate 7% of 5 consecutive birth cohorts Pan American Health Organization

12 Accelerating Deployment
13 Congenital Rubella Syndrome Pro-Vac Workshop, September 26
14 Strategies Strategies always rely on: Immunizing susceptible population Conducting effective surveillance Sustaining the gains

18 Future Challenges
19 What s at stake? Child mortality was reduced from 54 per 1 live births in 199 to 36 in 2 To achieve MDG4 by 215, the 2 child mortality rate level of 36 per 1 live births will require another 5% reduction to 18 per 1 Immunization can only account for 1/3 of the reduction if RV and pneumococcal vaccines are introduced Such new vaccine introductions double and triple the national budget for vaccine purchases, respectively. Perinatal mortality will also require subtantial support Andrus et al. Health Affairs, 28; 27(2):
