Indirect Benefits of Vaccinating Healthy Children: Inactivated Vaccines Arnold S. Monto University of Michigan School of Public Health Ann Arbor, MI
Indirect Protection - Issues • Community or population intervention • How many replications? • Methods? • How many years? • Can indirect protection be produced with no evidence of direct protection? • Depends on transmission characteristics • More difficult with high Ro • The need for annual revaccination • What is the effect?
Vaccination of School Age Children - Method • The A (H3N2) pandemic. • Monovalent inactivated vaccine available, but not generally. • Study ongoing in Tecumseh, Michigan. • Surveillance of acute illnesses going on in neighboring communities – need for adjustment. • Ability to identify period of virus transmission.

Novgorod Study - Method • Two year study – Russian City of Novgorod. • Russian vaccines used. Live attenuated and inactivated. • Russian vaccines typically one year out of date. • Randomized by school to receive live attenuated, inactivated vaccines or placebo. • Informed consent necessary. Varying participation by school.

Vaccination of Day Care Children - Method • Day care attendees ages 24-60 months vaccinated twice with either inactivated influenza or hepatitis A vaccine as placebo. • Infections in vaccinated and control individuals assessed serologically as are illnesses meeting a case definition. • Illnesses in contacts of these children assessed – stratification by whether others in the household themselves received vaccine.

Household-Based Costs and Benefits of Vaccinating Day Care Children - Summary • Use data from previous studies (2 years) of vaccination children in day care. • No statistically significant differences in household costs of respiratory illnesses. • Detailed results varied by year. • There was overall variability in the results, making absolute conclusions difficult. • Sample size a potential problem.
The Japanese Experience with Vaccinating Schoolchildren - Background • In Japan, vaccination of school children began in 1962 and became obligatory in 1977. • Levels of coverage 50-85%. • Patients allowed to refuse in 1987; program discontinued in 1994. • Little or no vaccine used in older individuals. • Excess mortality (all-cause and P&I) reviewed.

Summary • Few studies designed specifically to examine issues of indirect protection. • Studies use various designs: blinded assignment to vaccine or placebo, vaccination of all eligibles in specific age groups, observational. • Difficult to use standards applied to RCTs to interpretation of results. • Evidence suggest indirect protection has been produced, but precise quantification difficult.
