9 Vaccine Matching tools Other Expected Percentage ProtecBon (EPP) Es-mates likelihood of protec-on against challenge of infec-ve doses Can get EPP for single or booster vaccina-on Requires robust data from challenge Correla-on between serological response and protec-on deduced by logis-c regression Sera from 16 calle collected amer primo and booster vaccina-on is tested for its ability to cross react with vaccine and field viruses EPP then determined from correla-on tables This is a very thorough method AnBgenic cartography Ela tlhoko 18 9

10 Concluding Remarks Vaccine matching is a developing science (if its science) and its better to use complementing tools Whether a vaccine will offer protection depends on; - Its ability to elicit strong immunity i.e. potency Ø Potency depends on antigenicity of strain, antigen load or mass, adjuvant and formulation - Relatioship or closeness of vaccine strain to field strain Virus surveillance is the starting and most critical point and should be done on a continuous basis Conclusion Chillaxe Factors for effec-ve vaccine use an-genic composi-on of the vaccine, should give immunity against the virus strain(s) known to be prevalent in the area/region or those considered most likely to be introduced vaccine should have been sa-sfactorily tested for innocuity and potency according to interna-onal standards Availability in sufficient quan--es stability of the vaccine expiry dates Cold chain 10
