CTSI BERD Webinar: “From Vaccine Coverage to Vaccine Impact
March 2, 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm
2:00 PM – 3:00 PM / March 2, 2026
Vaccination is among the most successful and cost-effective public health interventions. A recent analysis estimated that the WHO’s Expanded Program on Immunization has prevented 153 million deaths over 50 years. To arrive at this number requires estimating 3 challenging quantities: the coverage of vaccination, the burden of disease that occurred, and the burden of disease that would have occurred in the absence of vaccination. I will present examples of work I have developed over the last 20 years to estimate each of these quantities in the context of measles and rubella.
