BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic is causing declines in childhood immunization rates. We examined potential COVID-19-related changes in pediatric 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) use, subsequent impact on childhood and adult pneumococcal disease rates, and how those changes might affect the favorability of PCV13 use in non-immunocompromised adults aged ≥65 years. METHODS: A Markov model estimated pediatric disease resulting from decreased PCV13 use in children aged <5 years; absolute decreases from 10 to 50% for 1-2 years duration were examined, assuming no catch-up vaccination and that decreased vaccination led to proportionate increases in PCV13 serotype pneumococcal disease in children and seniors. Integrating pediatric model output into a second Markov model examining 65-year-olds, we estimated the cost effectiveness of older adult pneumococcal vaccination strategies while accounting for potential epidemiologic changes from decreased pediatric vaccination. RESULTS: One year of 10-50% absolute decreases in PCV13 use in <5-year-olds increased pneumococcal disease by an estimated 4-19% in seniors; 2 years of decreased use increased senior rates by 8-38%. In seniors, a >53% increase in pneumococcal disease was required to favor PCV13 use in non-immunocompromised seniors at a $200,000 per quality-adjusted life-year gained threshold, which corresponded to absolute decreases in pediatric PCV13 vaccination of >50% over a 2-year period. In sensitivity analyses, senior PCV13 vaccination was unfavorable if absolute decreases in pediatric PCV13 receipt were within plausible ranges, despite model assumptions favoring PCV13 use in seniors. CONCLUSION: COVID-19-related decreases in pediatric PCV13 use would need to be both substantial and prolonged to make heightened PCV13 use in non-immunocompromised seniors economically favorable.
背景:COVID-19 大流行导致儿童免疫接种率下降。我们研究了 COVID-19 相关的小儿 13 价肺炎球菌结合疫苗(PCV13)使用的潜在变化,随后对儿童和成人肺炎球菌疾病发生率的影响,以及这些变化如何影响非免疫功能低下的年龄≥65 岁成年人使用 PCV13 的有利性。
方法:采用马尔可夫模型估计因<5 岁儿童 PCV13 使用率下降而导致的儿科疾病;研究了 1-2 年内减少 10%至 50%的绝对使用率的情况,假设没有补种疫苗,且疫苗接种减少导致儿童和老年人 PCV13 血清型肺炎球菌疾病的比例增加。将儿科模型的输出纳入第二个评估 65 岁老年人的马尔可夫模型,我们在考虑潜在的儿童疫苗接种减少导致的流行病学变化的情况下,估计了老年成人肺炎球菌疫苗接种策略的成本效益。
结果:<5 岁儿童 PCV13 使用率减少 10-50%的一年,老年人肺炎球菌疾病估计增加 4%-19%;使用减少两年,老年人发病率增加 8%-38%。在老年人中,需要>53%的肺炎球菌疾病增加,才能使非免疫功能低下的老年人使用 PCV13 在 20 万美元/QALY 收益阈值下具有成本效益,这相当于在 2 年内儿童 PCV13 疫苗接种率下降超过 50%。在敏感性分析中,尽管模型假设有利于老年人使用 PCV13,但如果儿童 PCV13 接受率的绝对减少在合理范围内,那么老年 PCV13 接种的效果不佳。
结论:COVID-19 相关的儿童 PCV13 使用减少需要既大量又持久,才能使非免疫功能低下的老年人更广泛地使用 PCV13 具有成本效益。
