Vaccination for the 2009 pandemic did not occur until late in the outbreak, which limited its benefits. Influenza A (H7N9) is causing increasing morbidity and mortality in China, and researchers have modified the A (H5N1) virus to transmit via aerosol, which again heightens concerns about pandemic influenza preparedness.
To determine how quickly vaccination should be completed to reduce infections, deaths, and health care costs in a pandemic with characteristics similar to influenza A (H7N9) and A (H5N1).

Vaccination of 30% of the population at 4 or 6 months.
Infections and deaths averted and cost-effectiveness.
RESULTS OF BASE-CASE ANALYSIS: In 12 months, 48 254 persons would die. Vaccinating at 9 months would avert 2365 of these deaths. Vaccinating at 6 months would save 5775 additional lives and $51 million at a city level. Accelerating delivery to 4 months would save an additional 5633 lives and $50 million.
If vaccination were delayed for 9 months, reducing contacts by 8% through nonpharmaceutical interventions would yield a similar reduction in infections and deaths as vaccination at 4 months.
The model is not designed to evaluate programs targeting specific populations, such as children or persons with comorbid conditions.
Vaccination in an influenza A (H7N9) pandemic would need to be completed much faster than in 2009 to substantially reduce morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Maximizing non-pharmaceutical interventions can substantially mitigate the pandemic until a matched vaccine becomes available.

2009 年大流行期间的疫苗接种直到疫情后期才开始,这限制了其效益。甲型流感(H7N9)在中国导致发病率和死亡率不断上升,研究人员已经对甲型流感(H5N1)病毒进行了改造,使其能够通过气溶胶传播,这再次引发了人们对大流行性流感防范的担忧。

对 30%的人群进行 4 或 6 个月的疫苗接种。
避免的感染和死亡人数以及成本效益。
在 12 个月内,将有 48254 人死亡。在 9 个月时进行疫苗接种将避免其中 2365 人死亡。在城市层面上,6 个月的疫苗接种将挽救 5775 条额外的生命和 5100 万美元。加速交付至 4 个月将额外挽救 5633 条生命和 5000 万美元。
如果疫苗接种推迟 9 个月,则通过非药物干预措施将接触减少 8%,则可获得与 4 个月时接种疫苗相同的感染和死亡人数减少。
该模型并非旨在评估针对特定人群(如儿童或患有合并症的人群)的计划。
在甲型流感(H7N9)大流行中,疫苗接种速度需要比 2009 年快得多,才能大大降低发病率、死亡率和医疗保健成本。最大限度地利用非药物干预措施可以在匹配疫苗可用之前大大减轻大流行的影响。
