A Study on Vaccination Technologies and Coverage
Pascale Leroueil, Vice President of Healthcare at the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan discusses a recent study where she and co-authors present a method for estimating the impact of vaccine technologies on vaccination coverage rates. They designed the method to help decision-makers better assess the most value for their money, with the goal of improving vaccine coverage for vulnerable communities. She talks about if the methodology can be applied to other types of vaccine technologies and what the pandemic revealed in terms of vaccine coverage that this research might address.
