Preferred term

overall vaccine effectiveness  

Definition

  • « Overall effectiveness of a vaccination program is defined as the reduction in the transmission rate for an average individual in a population with a vaccination program at a given level of coverage compared to an average individual in a comparable population with no vaccination program. Thus, the overall effectiveness takes into account benefits accrued by both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, and it is the measure most commonly used to evaluate the impact of a mass vaccination program at the population level. » Shim, E. and Galvani A.P. (2012). "Distinguishing vaccine efficacy and effectiveness." Vaccine 30(47): 6700-6705.
