15 Disease Severity *Vesikari score is a 20-point clinical severity scoring system N = 348 Overnight hospitalization 348 (100%) Vesikari >= (94%) UNPUBLISHED 15

16 Effectiveness by Severity * Vesikari score is a 20-point clinical severity scoring system Num. doses of vaccine Vaccine effectiveness (Vesikari >= 11) 1 dose 45% (CI: 13-65) 2-dose 75% (CI: 61-87) UNPUBLISHED 16

17 Conclusions and Recommendations Strengthen epidemiological surveillance through regional and global networks; evaluate the impact, monitor the prevalence of circulating strains, identify changes in the epidemiological profile Strengthen laboratory networks for new vaccines and the coordination between epidemiology and laboratory Report quality data systematically: regional profile, differences and similarities between countries, develop a software * WER, N 23 5 June 2009 (SAGE May 2009)

18 Conclusions and Recommendations Integrate the surveillance of rotavirus and bacterial pneumonia/meningitis Promote special studies: determine effectiveness, safety, protection with incomplete schedules, risk factors that can affect effectiveness Share new vaccines introduction and surveillance experiences. This will help other countries identify weaknesses and strengths as they implement in their countries
