24 Influenza Vaccine and Vaccine Program in Thailand

25 Vaccine Introduction in the EPI/ national program, Thailand BCG DTPw OPV Typhoid M R HB JE MMR Flu in HCWs DTPw-HB Source: modified from DDC, MOPH 2009

26 Should we introduce seasonal influenza vaccine into other target groups??? presentation slide by Dr. Charung Muangchana MD, PhD

27 Deciding on new vaccine introduction into the EPI / national program, Thailand Policy issues + Programmatic issues Public health priority Disease burden Economic & financial Vaccine safety & efficacy Alternative interventions Programmatic strength Supply availability Sustainability

28 Estimation of seasonal influenza impact : Thailand Parameter or issue Influenza & pneumonia burden Methodology Key findings investigator / Reference Routine surveillance Prospective pop.-based surveillance Extrapolation from study of Simmerman, on reported data Reported Influenza cases: 17,424 / yr Pneumonia case: 145, 290 / yr Pneumonia deaths: 874 / yr 23% flu positive among ILI at OPD 10% of hospitalized pneumonia caused by influenza OPD visits from flu: 924,478 / yr Loss of work days: 3.1 mill. / yr Loss of school days: 1.7 mill. / yr Estimated (min) Flu cases: 749,189 cases / yr Pneumonia cases: 242,150 / yr Flu pneumonia cases 26,637 / yr Flu pneumonia deaths 161/ yr Bureau of Epidemiology, 2006 Simmerman M, et al, 2006 Charung M, In flu vaccination project proposal to NHSO Board, 2007

29 Estimation of seasonal influenza impact : Thailand (2) Parameter or issue Risk group Seasonality Match of circulating & vaccine virus Methodology Key findings investigator / Reference Prospective pop.-based surveillance Prospective surveillance Routine surveillance Laboratory surveillance, over the past decade Groups at risk of serious complications Elderly and young children Persons with chronic cardiac and respiratory diseases Persons hospitalized in previous year Influenza cases peak during June-October Influenza cases are reported all year round, more case during May-October, peaks usually in July Characters of circulating flu viruses in Thailand each year are close to those of recommended vaccine strains for both northern and southern hemispheres Simmerman M, et al, 2006 Simmerman M, et al, 2006 Bureau of Epidemiology NIH/ Dep.of Med. Sci./ MOPH

30 Estimation of seasonal influenza impact : Thailand (3) Parameter or issue Medical cost Vaccine effectiveness Benefit of flu vaccination Methodology Key findings Reference Prospective study Epidemiologic Survey Epidemiologic Survey Simple estimation Unit cost of pneumonia treatment: $ in community hospital, $ in provincial hospital Flu vaccination to the elderly will reduce pneumonia incidence by one half (AR 4.83% in vaccinated group compared with in unvaccinated) Flu vaccine effectiveness 76% in persons with COPD Flu cases prevented: 400,000 / yr Pneumo. deaths prevented: 25,000/ yr Medical cost saved: 736 M baht Indirect cost saved: 800 M baht Olsen J S, et al.

31 Deciding on new vaccine introduction into the EPI / national program, Thailand Policy issues + Public health priority Disease burden Economic & financial Vaccine safety & efficacy Alternative interventions Programmatic issues Programmatic strength Supply availability Sustainability Seasonal influenza vaccine introduction into other target groups

32 Target groups & no. of doses of influenza vaccination, Thailand million doses per yr HCWs Poultry cullers * COPD, asthma, heart disease, cerebro-vascular dis., renal failure, chemotherapy, DM

33 Expanding target groups & no. of doses of influenza vaccination, Thailand million doses per yr HCWs Poultry cullers million doses per yr Elderly > 65 yrs Pop with chronic conditions* million doses per yr Pregnant Obesity Brain handicap Children 6 23 months * COPD, asthma, heart disease, cerebro-vascular dis., renal failure, chemotherapy, DM

34 Seasonal influenza vaccination services Pattern: National campaign Place : Hospitals Provider: Physicians, nurses Target : Voluntary Duration: June September Free of charge

35 Community involvement in risk communication Village Health Volunteers (over 800,000) in all communities actively participate in risk communication, health education including surveillance for flu and ILI. Local administrations, health authorities and NGOs jointly run regular villager dialogues on health issues including flu. This forum is instrumental for effective flu prevention in the community.

36 Lesson learnt from Thai s influenza immunization program Key success factors Strong evidence (information) Clear vaccination strategy Systematic vaccination managing Closed monitoring and evaluating Sufficient community and public informing & communicating Sustainability - not only budget, but also showing the impact
