A cross-collaboration among researchers from the US and India has examined the associations between consumption of vaccines and antibiotics from 2009 to 2017 in India’s private health sector to improve understanding of the relationship between vaccines and antibiotic use.
The results indicate vaccine‐induced longer‐term reductions in antibiotic use in India, similar to findings of studies from other low‐ and middle‐income countries where there is a negative relationship between monthly lagged vaccine consumption and monthly antibiotic consumption after 32 months.
Any organization or individual working in the field of immunization economics can submit findings, opportunities, calls to action, or other relevant work below to be shared with our community.
