BackgroundThe last two decades have seen substantial expansion of childhood vaccination programmes in low and middle income countries (LMICs). Here we quantify the health impact of these programmes by estimating the deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) averted by vaccination with ten antigens in 98 LMICs between 2000 and 2030. MethodsIndependent research groups provided model-based disease burden estimates under a range of vaccination coverage scenarios for ten pathogens: hepatitis...
