Adjustable Algorithmic Tool for Assessing the Effectiveness of Maternal Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Vaccination on Infant Mortality in Developing Countries

Figure 5

Algorithm visualization. An example of the visualization produced from the online tool. If the user is interested in implementing a candidate maternal RSV vaccine in Pakistan, they would select this country from the dropdown menu. If the distribution to pregnant mothers was estimated at 50% and the efficacy was estimated at 70%, over 195,000 cases of RSV and over 1,100 RSV-ALRI mortalities could have been avoided in Pakistan alone. The algorithm also reports that if this program were implemented in every USAID MCHN priority country, over 2 million cases of RSV and nearly 15,000 infant mortalities could be avoided annually.
