Table 1.

Parameters used in the model.

Parameter Value Source*
Competition for carriage acquisition (CN and CV)$ 0.1 (SD 0.01) [18,19]
Duration of carriage (δi)    
 0–11 months 47.1 days [49]
 12–23 months 39.4 days [49]
 24–35 months 31.6 days [49]
 36–47 months 21.5 days [49]
 48–59 months 21.3 days [49]
 5–17 years 17.0 days [48,50]
 18 years and over 18.0 days [48,50]
Vaccine efficacy against carriage    
Full protection (VECf) 63% (95%CrI 53 −73 %) [17]
Partial protection (VECp) 0.78 (95%CI 0.64 – 0.92) * VECf Meta-analysis of [44–47] (Supporting Information Part Two)
Mean duration of protection against carriage    
In fully protected (DF) 6.0 years [17](Supporting Information Part Two)
In partially protected (DP) 0.78 (95%CI 0.64 – 0.92) * DF Based on same assumptions as for Vaccine efficacy
Vaccine efficacy against IPD (VEIPD) 0.80 (0.61 – 0.90) [51]
Vaccine efficacy against invasiveness (VEINV) 0.48 (0.34 – 0.65) Derived from estimates of [51] and [17] (Supporting Information Part Two)
Mixing matrix Social contact study (Nha trang) Calculated as in Melegaro et al. [42]
