Figure 6.

Observed hospitalised postherpetic neuralgia incidence and model-predicted incidence in the absence of vaccination by year for each age cohort. Cohorts are grouped by age at 1 September 2013. Each year runs from October 1 of the first year to September 30 of the second. Blue points indicate observed zoster incidence and red points indicate observed incidence in age cohorts eligible for vaccination. Red lines show the model-predicted incidence in the absence of vaccination. Note that ages 71, 72, 80 and 81 are cohorts not eligible in the period.
