PATH - MVI Malaria Vaccine Modeling: Service Agreement (Projects)
https://www.swisstph.ch/en/projects/project-detail/project/path-mvi-malaria-vaccine-modeling-service-agreement
Swiss TPH is carrying out simulations of the public health impact of the RTS,S malaria vaccine, with the support of PATH-MVI. The work involves simulation of the impact of adding vaccines in the context [...] countries in sub-Saharan Africa, taking into account contextual factors such as the distributions of malaria transmission intensities. Vaccine profiles are based on field data from Phase III trials of RTS,S
