This global study of 84 countries, funded by @gavi and @gatesfoundation, reveals persisting inequity in global🌍HPV💉vaccine coverage.
We spoke to paper authors Kaja Abbas and @kiesha_prem to learn more about their findings.
Read on @LSHTM's website.

🆕blog by @Anna_Carnegie reflecting on the @IDMOD_ORG 2023 symposium.
Finding common ground around the importance of including social sciences & affected communities in research processes and discussing work undertaken by the Women in CMMID group.

ALT Panellists highlighted persisting issues with gaining access to sex-disaggregated data for different conditions and how this hinders our understanding of the impact of sex on infectious disease acquisition and outcomes. Quote by Anna Carnegie, Community and Project Manager, LSHTM

Read our latest expert comment on the administration of single-dose #HPVVaccines in routine #immunisation programmes for adolescent girls. 💉
❗️🔍Findings suggest this would still significantly reduce #CervicalCancer burden globally.🌍

I'm at @IDDconf this week repping our @gatesfoundation project to address barriers for women and non-binary folk in UK ID modelling.
Interesting in contributing to the research? Come along to a focus group discussion at LSHTM next week!

Modelling analysis suggests that one‑dose
papillomavirus #HPV #vaccination schedule = similar health benefits as two-doses.
One-dose = cost-effective, simplicity, ↓ supply constraints.

Still a couple of spots free for this event next Tuesday in Central London.
If you were involved in the UK COVID-19 response and would be interested in participating, please get in touch!
More details⬇️

The impact of COVID-19 response work on those involved has been profound, on both a
personal and professional level.
We are running a reflection session for those involved in the UK modelling response to talk about it.

Not surprising but still disappoints everytime it is highlighted- Low income countries rely mostly on donor funds and private sources (euphemism for out of pocket expenditure) to finance PHC. #HealthFinancingSummit

The loss of life from delayed Covid vaccination in Africa. Seems a while ago, but our work with Africa CDCs health economics programme now published on BMC Medicine. It informed vaccine pricing and its methods are useful for future pandemics.
