This study aims to inform SARS-CoV-2 vaccine development/licensure/decision-making/implementation, using mathematical modeling, by determining key preferred product characteristics and associated population-level impacts of a eliciting long-term protection. A prophylactic with efficacy against acquisition (VES) ≥70% can eliminate the infection. VES <70% may still control infection if it reduces infectiousness or duration among those vaccinated who acquire infection, is supplemented...
Abstract Background Several SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidates are currently in the pipeline. This study aims to inform development, licensure, decision-making, and implementation by determining key preferred product characteristics associated population-level impact. Methods Vaccination impact was assessed at various efficacies using an age-structured mathematical model describing transmission disease progression, with application for China. Results A prophylactic efficacy against acquisition (...
