About
In the ACIP meeting, experts reviewed dengue vaccination strategies using the Notre Dame and Takeda models. Dr. Wilbur Chen noted prior dengue infection doesn't fully protect against severe complications from different virus types; Dengvaxia was approved for children aged 9 to 16 in endemic areas. The workgroup evaluates TAK-003 from Takeda, considering policy and economic impacts, aiming for a recommendation by October 2023 pending licensure. Dr. Hernandez used the PICO framework for policy questions, emphasizing endemic area residents. Dr. Kaul presented economic models for Puerto Rico. Varied efficacy for Dengue 3 and 4 and the impact of pre-vaccination screening on cost-effectiveness were discussed, emphasizing age and serostatus in vaccination strategies.Tags
