Table 2.

 Total burden of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) due to vaccine serotype (undiscounted) over nine year period (2012-13 to 2020-21) in people at high risk

Variables Cases of IPD due to vaccine serotypes Deaths Life years QALYs
Without high risk vaccination and without herd protection benefits of 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine* 7522 1895 34 251 36 579
Cases prevented by herd effects of infant 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine programme† 6189 1538 28 397 30 382
Without high risk vaccination and with herd effects of additional six serotypes in 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine 1333 357 5854 6197
With high risk group vaccination (including herd effects of infant programme)‡ 927 247 4033 4274
Averted burden by high risk vaccination (incremental effects)§ 406 110 1821 1923

QALYs=quality adjusted life years.

*Only including herd effect due to serotypes included in seven valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (excluding herd effect due to six additional serotypes included in 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.

†Herd effects due to additional six serotypes in 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine based on incidence after vaccination with seven valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (see methods and appendix 2 in supplementary file).

‡Vaccination uptake to be assumed similar to that of annual influenza uptake (see methods).
