Gavi s Vaccine Investment Strategy Judith Kallenberg, Head of Policy WHO Product Development for Vaccines Advisory Committee Meeting Geneva, Switzerland, 7-9 September 2015 www.gavi.org
Vaccine Investment Strategy (VIS) Evidence-based approach to identifying potential new vaccine priorities for Gavi support Evidence review, analyses, stakeholder consultations, independent expert advice 2008 VIS: HPV, rubella, JE, typhoid 2013 VIS: Expanded support for yellow fever campaigns Time-limited contribution to global cholera stockpile Learning agenda: rabies and cholera studies to fill evidence gaps Malaria vaccines to be re-assessed in 2015/16 2
VIS process (phase 1) 1. WHO landscape analysis of vaccines in scope: anticipated licensure within next 5 years 2. Development of prioritisation criteria through Gavi stakeholder consultations 3. Assessment of vaccines against criteria 4. Development vaccine shortlist for in-depth analysis 2013 vaccines considered: Existing vaccines not supported by GAVI Pipeline vaccines Potential expansion of GAVI vaccine support Cholera Malaria DTP (booster) Hepatitis A Dengue Hepatitis B (birth dose) Hepatitis E Enterovirus 71 Measles (additional campaigns) Influenza Mumps Poliomyelitis Rabies Meningococcal (additional serotypes) Yellow Fever (additional campaigns) 3

Procurement cost includes vaccine, syringe, safety box, and freight 2. Scoring based on cost per future death averted

Develop impact estimates 4. Develop cost estimates 5. Assess other disease/vaccine features
Methodology for vaccine prioritisation 6. Populate scorecards Health impact Cost Implementation feasibility Other considerations 7. Compare vaccines against selected criteria 6
Consultations identified 5 key criteria to drive initial prioritization in phase I Category Health impact Additional impact considerations Implementation feasibility Cost and value for money VIS Criteria Impact on child mortality Impact on overall mortality Impact on overall morbidity Epidemic potential Global or regional public health priority Herd immunity Availability of alternative interventions Socio-economic inequity Gender inequity Disease of regional importance Capacity and supplier base GAVI market shaping potential Ease of supply chain integration Ease of programmatic integration Vaccine efficacy and safety Vaccine procurement cost In-country operational cost Procurement cost per event averted Health impact (mortality and morbidity) most important Also consider epidemic diseases and value for money Verify additional benefits and implementation feasibility In phase II, the full scorecard will be (re)considered to inform final prioritization 7
Country level Global level VIS process: phase 2 (~6 months) 1. Further, in-depth assessment of shortlisted vaccines 2. Comparison with current Gavi portfolio to determine value-add 3. Independent expert validation of analyses 4. Country consultations 5. Development of investment recommendations Country openness to new schedule and awareness that vaccine cannot replace other interventions Respondents positive on ability to add new visits for 5-17M age group Respondents emphasized that vaccine could not displace other malaria interventions Malaria vaccine may have impact comparable to Hib Question: Please indicate the statement(s) that most closely apply in your country # of responses 80 76 Question: Please indicate the statement(s) that most closely apply in your country # of responses 150 Future deaths averted per 100k vaccinated 1 60 52 100 102 1,000 800 600 400 200 0 5,000 1,500 768 668 576 541 198 147 Rabies HPV Hep B Pneumo Hib Malaria Rota Yellow2 Fever 1.

VIS lessons learned VIS process led to a set of defensible investment recommendations and consensus among key Gavi stakeholders Success factors: robust evidence-base; clear decision framework and full transparency of the process; active stakeholder engagement and consultation; independent expert validation of analyses Multi-step process with many qualitative and quantitative inputs; methodology evolved in the course of the process Evaluation criteria formed a framework to help facilitate comparison and prioritisation; ranking difficult: no single algorithm can do justice to the diverse considerations relevant for prioritisation Limited focus on DALYs and inability to conduct comprehensive CEA Critical and consistent evidence gaps for some vaccines: missed opportunities? 9
VIS 2008: Typhoid update 2008 VIS recommended a one-time catch up campaign targeting children 1-14 yo + routine immunisation of infants Assumptions: A TCV was expected to reach WHO PQ status in 2011; 24 countries projected to apply for typhoid vaccine support Taking stock: Timeline of lead conjugate (Bharat) PQ unclear Demand uncertainties SAGE review of TCVs in 2017/2018 Potential way forward: refresh investment case for typhoid in parallel to new VIS strategy Need to better understand (and generate) demand; engage with research community pre-2018 10
VIS 2013: Malaria / rts,s next steps Gavi Board requested an updated assessment following conclusion of trials and SAGE recommendation Updated demand scenarios, impact estimates and comparison with impact of current Gavi vaccines Updated cost and value for money estimates Preliminary implementation approaches in coordination with the Global Fund (application process, M&E, etc.) December 2015 / June 2016: Gavi Board review of options for a possible role in supporting rts,s implementation 11
VIS 2013: updates on VIS learning agenda Cholera Evidence gaps: lack of vaccine effectiveness data for targeted vaccination strategy, unsure of demand and impact and programmatic feasibility Decision: global cholera vaccine stockpile contribution for epidemic response + research investment to understand role of OCV in endemic settings Rabies Evidence gaps: lack of understanding of burden, lack of ability to predict demand; equity and feasibility issues related to whether Gavi would need to support Rabies Immunoglobulines (risk issue), sustainability issues Decision: investment in research on feasibility of Gavi support for rabies vaccines 12
Three work streams under learning agenda to inform VIS 2018 2014 Sept 2015 Sep 2017 2018 Commission assessments Implement Assessments Assessments inform 2018 VIS Cholera: Cost-efficient strategies for OCV use in endemic settings Rabies 1: Evaluate the feasibility and logistic requirements of increasing access to post-exposure prophylaxis rabies vaccination in existing programmatic experiences Rabies 2: Estimate (vaccine-preventable) rabies burden and vaccination impact in endemic Gavi countries
Planned activities for learning agenda Cholera 1. Mass campaign in 1-14yo in endemic setting in Bangladesh; focus on feasibility/coverage 2. 5-year and age-specific VE and impact in Haiti (TBC) Rabies 1. Prospective burden and impact measurement in Chad, Mali, Cote d Ivoire 2. Leverage existing country data to strengthen disease burden estimates and descriptive analysis of existing program management, with a focus on Asian countries
Next steps for VIS 2018 Explore typhoid conjugate vaccine research engagement Implement learning agenda for cholera and rabies Monitor other vaccine developments (influenza, RSV, etc.) Q4 2015 / Q1 2016: partner meeting to plan for VIS 2018 Process and timelines Metrics and inputs Scope of potential investments Key evidence gaps/needs 15
