Project description

The HPRU in Immunisation provides publically funded and independent research on the English vaccination programme and supports national policy making

The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Health Protection Research Unit in Immunisation is a unique partnership between the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and Public Health England creating a dynamic fusion of academic research and public health implementation that rapidly translates scientific advances in immunization into measurable benefits for society

The immunisation system is one of the most powerful tools available to protect the health of the population and, in England, it is one of the most highly developed in the world. Each new vaccine is assessed by monitoring the amount of disease that occurs in the population, estimating the effect of the vaccine on that disease burden using mathematical models, and calculating the costs and the health benefits of the vaccine programme using economic analyses.
