Sad to hear @Merck is pulling out of the agreement to provide cheaper #rotavirus vaccine to people in low-income countries. #vaccines https://t.co/cfKwzBsE50 @IVACtweets

[Gatien de Broucker @g_debroucker]

Cost of illness tells us about households' experience of illness.

It's a challenge to draw a complete picture - difficult to capture ambulatory cases, capture the overall burden people face, and finding measles cases & follow-up outbreaks - Dr. Constenla #DOVE4 @IVACtweets

[Gatien de Broucker @g_debroucker]

Patients affected by pneumonia, diarrhea or measles are from middle to low social economic status.

Patients who can afford private care tend to get it. There is no evidence however that quality of care is higher in private healthcare - Dr. Ziaul Islam #DOVE4 @icddr_b

[Gatien de Broucker @g_debroucker]

Q: Why choose Rajshahi & Syhlet regions?
A: We considered the immunization coverage from immunization coverage surveys (2014) and chose low vs. high coverage regions (Dr. Md. Jasim Uddin) #DOVE4 @icddr_b

[Gatien de Broucker @g_debroucker]

The economic burden of pneumonia, diarrhea and measles is very high: over half of the households face catastrophic health expenditures - Dr. Ziaul Islam #DOVE4 @icddr_b

[Gatien de Broucker @g_debroucker]

Q: Was the vaccination history of patients surveyed?
A: Yes, we did. We reviewed the vaccines the child received #DOVE4 @icddr_b

[Gatien de Broucker @g_debroucker]

#DOVE4 is an opportunity to push economic methods further to understand what people and institutions go through when facing illness - Dr. Dagna Constenla @IVACtweets @icddr_b

Results of this study will be used by policy makers in Bangladesh to inform about the economic benefits of vaccines. It’s through through preventive interventions like vaccines that we are able to help reduce poverty and ensure good health and well being for all.
