Measles Strategic Planning Tool: Analysis of MCV strategies in developing countries Emily Simons 29 January 2009
Overview The MSP tool Results by question For Indian states: what is best strategy to accelerate disease control and does the optimal strategy change as MCV1 coverage increases? For African countries and Cambodia: how much do countries benefit from MCV2 and do the benefits vary as MCV1 coverage increases? For Latin American countries: At what MCV1 and MCV2 coverage rates can SIAs be removed without substantial risk of outbreaks? General conclusions 2
The MSP Tool User-defined scenarios: change coverage, introduce MCV2 or SIAs Quasi-dynamic state model that predicts potential measles cases, DALYs, deaths, and costs Historical (1980-2007) time series data, including coverage, SIAs, reported cases, schedules, and population estimates (1980-2025) Global parameters: vaccine efficacy, CFR age multiplier, discount rate, herd immunity threshold, initial value of infectiousness Country specific parameters: costs per dose, CFR Cohort specific characteristics: proportion immune, FOI, cases 3
The MSP Tool Vaccine failure, susceptible Protected by maternal AB MCV1 Immune Birth cohort Susceptibles at 12 months 1 year old cohort, X% immune Background mortality Deaths Cases Recover, immune 4
Basic calculation Based on series of algebraic equations that determine % susceptible of each birth cohort and annual # cases FOI adjusted according to proportion of population immune (greater immunity, lower FOI) Distribution curve of FOI vs. % of cohort immune fit through MLE 100* S ( t) of observed data A log(100* S( t)) A F( t) = Fi Herd immunity threshold=10.5% log( H ) Abrupt shift in transmission as % immune 89.5% FOI cohort specific: more dynamic than Miller/Rabaa, less dynamic than Burgess/Levin 5
Assumptions & limitations Assumptions Homogeneous vaccination coverage across country Homogeneous mixing No difference in cost of MCV2 in 2 nd year of life and at school-entry Limitations Time period= 2007-2025. Will not capture large outbreaks around or near 2025, big changes to MCV activities can take 10 years to equilibrate Incidence: over-estimated, MSP only includes population 0-69 years old Tends to over estimate incidence when coverage high and underestimate size of outbreaks when coverage low SIAs performed once every 3 years for DRC (not rolling) 6

Conclusions: Africa/Cambodia All second opportunities have similar impact Use of MCV2 supported by both effectiveness and cost data in continued presence of SIAs MCV2 at 18 months can reduce incidence by 45-85% when MCV1 73% MCV2 more effective at 18M than school age even though fewer previously unvaccinated children reached 18

Cost-effectiveness of AMRO scenarios Country Paraguay Costa Rica Mexico El Salvador Cost saved by removing SIAs* (2008 USD) Total, 2008-2025 $2,592,967 $6,359,986 $237,250,964 $2,636,314 per additional case $26 $164 $1,041 $5,091 per additional DALY $98,033 $38,806 $227,987 $518 *Difference in costs are not entirely savings. Expenditures include sunk costs that are not recoverable, such as training and capital, and costs shared with integrated services that are also not recoverable. 22
Conclusions: two routine dose countries Supports PAHO benchmark of ~ 95% coverage for MCV1 prior to removal of SIAs 90-95% range of MCV1 needs further assessment MCV2 coverage <95% combined with 95% MCV1 may sustain elimination, but further assessment needed 23
Summary 1. India: what is best strategy to accelerate disease control and does the optimal strategy change as MCV1 coverage increases? Increasing MCV1 extremely cost effective when MCV1 coverage <90% SIAs have greater impact than MCV2 across all MCV1 coverage 2. Africa/Cambodia: how much do countries benefit from MCV2 and do the benefits vary as MCV1 coverage increases? MCV2 at 18 months can reduce incidence by 45-85% when MCV1 73% MCV2 at 18 months more effective than MCV2 at 7 years, despite low number of zero-dose children reached at 18 months MCV2 becomes more effective at higher MCV1 coverage levels 3. Latin America: At what MCV1 and MCV2 coverage rates can SIAs be removed without substantial risk of outbreaks? ~ 95% MCV1 coverage for prior to reduction of SIAs Range of MCV2 coverage with 95% MCV1 needs further assessment 24
