Potential impacts of schedule changes, waning immunity and vaccine uptake on measles elimination in AustraliaJames G Wood
National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance of Vaccine Preventable Diseases NCIRS, Level 2, Children s Hospital at Westmead, NSW 2145, Sydney, Australia
Vaccine 27:313-8. 2009..One-dose MMR coverage of 96% or greater maintained elimination more effectively than modelled changes in scheduling, suggesting that maximising one-dose MMR coverage should be the highest priority...
Optimal dosing and dynamic distribution of vaccines in an influenza pandemicJames Wood
School of Public Health and Community Medicine, University of New South Wales, New South Wales, Australia
Am J Epidemiol 169:1517-24. 2009..However, if prevalence at vaccination is above 1%, effectiveness is much reduced, emphasizing the need for other control measures...
Cost-effectiveness of pharmaceutical-based pandemic influenza mitigation strategiesAnthony T Newall
University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Emerg Infect Dis 16:224-30. 2010..At a willingness to pay of >A$24,000 per life-year saved, more than half the simulations showed that a prepandemic vaccination program combined with antiviral treatment was cost-effective in Australia...
Effects of internal border control on spread of pandemic influenzaJames G Wood
National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance of Vaccine Preventable Diseases, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Emerg Infect Dis 13:1038-45. 2007..Internal border control may have a role in protecting domestic centers early in a pandemic, when importations are sparse. Our results may be useful for policymakers...
Under-explored assumptions in influenza vaccination models: implications for the universal vaccination of childrenAnthony T Newall
School of Public Health and Community Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia
Vaccine 30:5776-81. 2012..The methodological approach used to estimate influenza hospitalisations was also highly influential. Our study highlights the role that key modelling assumptions play when estimating the impact of vaccination against influenza...
Models of strategies for control of rubella and congenital rubella syndrome-a 40 year experience from AustraliaZhanhai Gao
School of Public Health and Community Medicine, University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia
Vaccine 31:691-7. 2013..28 to 0.78 by 2060. The 99% reduction in both rubella and CRS incidence and low effective reproductive number (R≤0.28) we documented after 2010 are consistent with Australia having achieved rubella elimination...
The potential cost-effectiveness of infant pneumococcal vaccines in AustraliaAnthony T Newall
School of Public Health and Community Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia
Vaccine 29:8077-85. 2011..The high proportion of current invasive disease caused by serotype 19A (as included in PCV-13) may be a decisive factor in determining vaccine policy in Australia...
Current epidemiology of rubella and congenital rubella syndrome in Australia: progress towards eliminationNing Song
School of Public Health and Community Medicine, University of New South Wales, High Street, Kensington, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia
Vaccine 30:4073-8. 2012..Further reductions in incidence of CRS will require continued attention to vaccine coverage in overseas-born women, as well as the maintenance of current high coverage level of two-dose MMR vaccination...

School of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
Lancet Infect Dis 7:289-96. 2007..Further refinements to model design and epidemiological variables of (type-specific) HPV disease progression, and expansions on the options for vaccine use, are required for policy making...
