Model schematic. This figure presents the schematic of the Markov model. Solid arrows represent transition probabilities between health states, which are differentiated depending on immunization status. Dashed arrows represent disease-specific deaths. Curved arrows represent that individuals stay in the same health states during the next cycle. Deaths due to other causes occur at every stage according to the background mortality rate for Gambian children but are not shown.
