1 Estimates of the potential public health impact and cost-effectiveness of adopting pneumococcal vaccination in the routine immunization programme in African GAVI countries: a modelling study C. Sauboin 1, K. Meszaros, N. Van de Velde, O. Oladehin 3, R. Adegbola 1 GSK Vaccines, Nairobi, Kenya GSK Vaccines, Wavre, Belgium 3 GSK Vaccines, Lagos, Nigeria Background Pneumonia, meningitis and sepsis are the leading cause of vaccine-preventable mortality in children under 5 years of age in sub-saharan Africa 1 Streptococcus pneumoniae (Sp) is an important cause for these diseases GAVI (Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization) provides funding for pneumococcal conjugate vaccines in eligible countries Deaths (%) Prenatal death Postnatal death Causes of Deaths among Children 5-year-old in Sub-Saharan Countries 1 Liu et al. in Disease Control Priorities, Third edition, 016 1

2 Objectives To estimate the potential public health impact and cost-effectiveness of pneumococcal non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae protein D conjugate vaccine (PHiD-CV) versus no vaccination in 36 African GAVI countries 3 Methods: Model structure A decision-tree model was used to assess the vaccine impact in children under 5 years of age The number of events in children under 5 years are calculated based on incidence of each outcome, vaccination coverage and efficacy data for each disease and each country One tree was developped for each disease: pneumonia, meningitis, non-pneumonia nonmeningitis IPD and otitis media Static modelling approach without herd effect or serotype replacement Coverage Episode of clinical pneumonia? Incidence in <5y Non-severe case Severe case Is vaccinated? 1 - Coverage Episode of clinical pneumonia? Incidence * (1-VEo) Incidence * (1-VEi) Incidence * (1-VEi) Death Non-severe case Severe case Death IPD, Invasive Pneumococcal Disease; VEo, Vaccine efficacy against outpatient visits VEi, Vaccine efficacy against inpatient visits 4

6 Limitations of the analysis This study is based on a static model and does not account for the dynamic transmission mechanisms, including indirect effect, serotype replacement or circulation of pathogens. Vaccine efficacy is transposed from a study in Latin America 1 -where a different vaccination schedule is recommended- to African countries settings. However, post-marketing data analysis in Kenya shows consistent results with the Latin America study. Limitations in this study are related to the limitations from the original estimates of disease incidence and costs. 1. Tregnaghi et al. PLoS Med. 014 Jun 3;11(6):e Silaba et al. ISPPD 016 conference, Abstract Conclusions The implementation of PHiD-CV is projected to have a substantial public health impact The impact on the pneumonia burden would be the largest. These results are likely to be underestimated because indirect effects are not included in the model. Considering the treatment cost, the annual budget required would reach USD 36 M to introduce PCV vaccination in 36 countries and cover 0 M infants. The cost-effectiveness ratio shows that PHiD-CV is likely to be highly cost-effective based on WHO threshold (1x GDP per capita). PHiD-CV, pneumococcal non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae protein D conjugate vaccine 1 6
