AMMnet seminar: Modelling to Inform Malaria Vaccine Policy: Supply and Equity as Key Factors
The Applied Malaria Modeling Network (AMMnet) is pleased to invite you to the seminar on “Modelling to Inform Malaria Vaccine Policy: Supply and Equity as Key Factors“
Date: 2nd September, 2025.
Time: 15:00 UTC.
Place: Online via Zoom. Real-time interpretation to French and Portuguese will be available.
This talk reviews how mathematical and decision-analytic models can directly inform malaria vaccine policy when policy makers need to account for vaccine supply constraints and equity objectives. Using Nigerian epidemiological context and international vaccine rollout experience as examples, the presentation links model outputs (impact, cost-effectiveness, and distributional outcomes) to real-world supply scenarios and equity frameworks, offering practical recommendations for policymakers on allocation strategies that balance population impact with equity.
