Mathematical and Economic Modelling for Vaccination and Immunisation Evaluation, and Emergency Response.
This project focuses on using predictive mathematical models and health economic evaluations to inform vaccination policy decisions made by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) in the UK.
JCVI's recommendations often influence global policy through National Immunisation Technical Advisory Groups (NITAGs). To enhance confidence in modelling results, the project follows the Macpherson review's advice by providing JCVI with multiple sets of predictions. Building on the MEMVIE programme's five-year experience, the project offers essential health economic predictions needed for policy advice. These predictions, based on complex mathematical models matched with epidemiological and demographic data, forecast health changes and associated costs related to vaccine schedule adjustments. Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) is integral to the programme, ensuring that complex mathematical predictions are linked with public input in an informative manner.
