Vaccination against Hepatitis A virus (HAV) in Canada is currently targeted toward high-risk groups. However, universal vaccination has been adopted in several other countries with a similar disease burden. Here we develop an age-structured compartmental model of HAV transmission and vaccination in Canada to assess potential universal vaccination strategies. The model predicts that universal vaccination at age 1 (respectively 4, 9, 15), with phasing out of targeted vaccination, would reduce reported incidence by 60% (respectively 52, 36, 31%) and mortality attributable to HAV by 56% (respectively 45, 26, 25%), relative to continued targeted vaccination, over 80 years.
加拿大目前针对甲型肝炎病毒(HAV)的疫苗接种目标是高危人群。然而,其他一些疾病负担相似的国家已采用普遍接种疫苗的方式。在此,我们建立了一个加拿大HAV传播和疫苗接种的年龄结构分区模型,以评估潜在的普遍接种疫苗策略。该模型预测,相对于持续的目标性疫苗接种,在80年的时间里,1岁(分别为4岁、9岁、15岁)时进行普遍接种疫苗,并逐步淘汰目标性疫苗接种,将使报告的发病率降低60%(分别为52%、36%、31%),并使HAV所致死亡率降低56%(分别为45%、26%、25%)。
