Vaccination programmes are of vital importance to public health and
are present in virtually every country in the world. By promoting
an understanding of the diverse effects of vaccination programmes,
this textbook discusses how epidemiologic methods can be used to
study, in real life, their impacts, benefits and risks. Written by
expert practitioners in an accessible and concise style, this book
is interspersed with practical examples which allow readers to
acquire understanding through real-life data and problems. Part I
provides an overview of basic concepts in vaccinology, immunology,
vaccination programmes, infectious disease transmission dynamics,
the various impacts of vaccination programmes and their societal
context. Part II covers the main field tools used for the
epidemiological evaluation of vaccination programmes: monitoring
coverage and attitudes towards vaccination, surveillance of
vaccine-preventable diseases and pathogens, seroepidemiological
studies, methods to assess impact and outbreak investigation. Part
III is dedicated to vaccine effectiveness and its assessment. Part
IV includes an overview of the potential risks of vaccination and
how to study these. Lastly, Part V deals with methods for an
integrated assessment of benefits and risks of vaccination
programmes. Suitable for professionals working in public health,
epidemiology, biology and those working in health economics and
vaccine development, Vaccination Programmes also serves as a
textbook for postgraduate students in public health, epidemiology
and infectious diseases. The book is aimed at all those involved in
the many aspects of vaccination programmes, including public health
professionals and epidemiologists. Its primary target audiences are
master and doctoral students in infectious disease epidemiology and
public health, post-doctoral participants of field epidemiology
training programmes and public health professionals working in the
post-implementation epidemiological evaluation of vaccines and
vaccination programmes.
