IDweek2023 A Comprehensive Examination of the Influence of Vaccines on Antimicrobial Resistance and Health Burden
In a groundbreaking modeling analysis, a consortium of organizations, including the World Health Organization, international vaccine institutes, and the esteemed London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, embarked on an ambitious journey to evaluate the profound impact of vaccines on health burden, antibiotic use, and economic implications. This study employed a pan-pathogen approach to inform the development and prioritization of vaccines, employing a rigorous methodology and aligned assumptions. Furthermore, by joining forces with the Global Burden of Disease Study, this investigation was able to harness granular data to dissect the intricacies of the health burden imposed by antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
