Mashup Score: 7Estimating the health effects of COVID-19-related immunisation disruptions in 112 countries during 2020–30: a modelling study - 12 day(s) ago
Our results highlight the importance of the timing of catch-up activities, considering estimated burden to improve vaccine coverage in affected cohorts. We estimated that mitigation measures for measles and yellow fever were particularly effective at reducing excess burden in the short term. Additionally, the high long-term effect of HPV vaccine as an important cervical-cancer prevention tool warrants continued immunisation efforts after disruption.
