Annual Report 2013
Letter from the Acting Director General
Dear Friends,
I am pleased to present IVI’s 2013 Annual Report. IVI was established in 1997 with
the mandate to develop and introduce vaccines in developing countries against deadly
infectious diseases that afflict the most vulnerable and poor. Over 16 years of existence,
IVI has played a unique and important role - we are the only international
organization based in Asia dedicated to vaccines and vaccination for developing
countries, and we are one of the very few nonprofit organizations with a vaccine
portfolio that comprises of a vaccine approved by the World Health Organization
(WHO).
The year 2013 was one of successes and challenges for IVI. It was a year of financial
challenges but despite the issues, we continued to press on in our vaccine research and
development and in our programs.
John Morahan
Acting Director General and Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
We made significant progress in the fight against cholera, building on our past
achievements with the inactivated oral cholera vaccine (OCV) that IVI reformulated
and developed in collaboration with partners from Sweden, Vietnam, and India. The
OCV was tech-transferred to a manufacturer in India, and the vaccine (ShancholTM)
was licensed and WHO-prequalified in 2011. In 2013, IVI continued to work on
optimizing the use of the OCV and on facilitating its uptake in settings with endemic
and epidemic cholera.
Some of the notable achievements made in these areas include a publication in The Lancet Infectious
Diseases of findings from five years of follow-up of a phase III trial of the OCV, which showed that the
vaccine provides sustained protection at about 65 percent for at least five years, a major milestone that no
other cholera vaccine has shown so far. A bridging trial with the OCV was completed in Ethiopia - the
first trial of its kind for the cholera vaccine in Africa - that should pave the way for its widespread use in
this country. We completed a mass vaccination demonstration project with the OCV in Odisha, India,
proving that vaccination using the existing public health infrastructure is feasible. Based on this evidence,
the Odisha state government is planning to conduct vaccinations for at-risk tribal groups.
Last but not least, we are pleased that the GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance made a commitment in late 2013 to
support the global stockpile for oral cholera vaccines over the next five years. The stockpile will increase
access to the OCV in outbreaks and in endemic settings. To ensure a sufficient supply of the OCV for the
global market, IVI has been working with a second tech transfer partner, EuBiologics of South Korea on
clinical development and manufacturing of the OCV.
We continued to progress on the development of a new vaccine against typhoid. IVI formulated a typhoid
conjugate vaccine based on conjugation technology from the U.S. National Institutes of Health, and in
2013, transferred the technology to two partners, SK Chemicals of South Korea and PT Biofarma of
Indonesia. Clinical development of the vaccine is ongoing, and we anticipate the vaccine will be WHOprequalified in the next few years.
Our dengue work also continued through the Dengue Vaccine Initiative (DVI), a consortium led by IVI
that aims to accelerate the development and introduction of dengue vaccines. DVI has been funded by the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and in 2013, it was granted new funding from the Foundation to
continue its work. In addition, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) became
a donor and is supporting the development of a dengue vaccine candidate in Brazil and Vietnam.
02
Our International Advanced Course on Vaccinology in the Asia-Pacific Region marked its thirteenth year
in 2013. The course, which takes place at IVI’s headquarters, aims to provide vaccine professionals from
developing countries a comprehensive overview of vaccinology. Over 60 attendees from 22 countries
including Bangladesh, China, India, Nigeria, Thailand, and Vietnam participated in the course.
Our collaborations with various groups in South Korea, IVI’s host country, continued to be strong. In
addition to SK Chemicals and EuBiologics, some of our partners include the Korea National Institute for
Health for joint research projects, and Seoul National University’s School of Engineering for an innovative
project that will pilot-test renewable energy sources for vaccine cold chain and delivery in Nepal. LG
Electronics and Kia Motors are supporting cholera vaccine introduction projects in Ethiopia and Malawi,
respectively.
Equally important, we continued to implement the organizational changes initiated in 2012 in order to
strengthen the Institute’s governance, management and operations. As part of efforts to make sure that we
deliver on our projects, program management was introduced in 2013. New positions were created such as
program leads for our cholera, enteric fever and dengue franchises, and a grant manager.
Funding was a prominent issue in 2013 but we reduced our deficit by 64 percent compared with 2012
(refer to the 2013 Financial Summary for more details). Our major stakeholders also responded
accordingly. A new agreement was established with the Korean Ministry of Education (the ministry that
oversees IVI within the Korean government) that should help ensure a more stable base for core funding
from our host country. The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) provided an
additional contribution. We have also been communicating more with our signatory countries as part of
an effort to engage in a more meaningful dialogue about IVI with our stakeholders. For example, a
Vaccine Diplomacy Forum was convened by IVI and the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs in April 2013
that invited diplomatic representatives from IVI’s signatory countries based in Seoul.
I would like to thank the Government of the Republic of Korea, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,
and Sida for their continued trust and confidence in IVI. In particular, I would like to thank the Korean
Ministry of Education and the National Assembly for their strong support of IVI in 2013. I also thank
BMBF and our Korean partners LG Electronics, Kia Motors, and the Korea Support Committee for IVI
(KSC) for their support, in addition to numerous other donors and supporters.
Looking forward, IVI will be continuing efforts to diversify our funding and to increase funding for core
and project support. Despite the financial challenges, IVI remains dedicated to bringing new vaccines to
poor populations and to help bridge the gap between vaccines and vaccination. We are committed to our
mission of discovering, developing, and delivering safe, effective and affordable vaccines for developing nations.
Sincerely,
John Morahan

Annual Report 2013
IVI IN BRIEF
In 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated a total
of 6.9 million children below the age of five died. Among the
deaths, fifty-eight percent were from infectious diseases, and the
majority was in Africa and South Asia. Many of these deaths can
be prevented by vaccination. Vaccines are one of the most costeffective tools in public health and have contributed greatly to the
prevention and control of infectious diseases in the 20th century.
Thanks to vaccines, smallpox was eradicated and efforts are
currently being made to eliminate polio and measles. While
children in developed countries have benefitted from vaccination,
many children in developing countries remain unprotected against
potentially fatal vaccine-preventable diseases.
The International Vaccine
Institute (IVI) was founded in
1997 as an initiative by the
United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP) who
recognized there was a need for
an independent international
organization with the mandate
to improve the health of
children in developing nations through vaccines and vaccination.
IVI’s mission is to discover, develop and deliver safe, effective and
affordable vaccines. Headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, IVI’s
host country, IVI has thirty-five signatory countries and WHO to
its Establishment Agreement.
04
“Lab bench to community” approach
IVI’s vaccine research spans from “bench to community.” IVI is
involved in all aspects of bringing a vaccine to reality from:
discovering new vaccine technology and developing a new vaccine
or improving an existing one; transferring the technology and
providing training and technical support to developing country
vaccine manufacturers; developing assays and conducting clinical
trials for licensure and WHO prequalification; and generating
scientific evidence for global- and national-level decision makers
and donor agencies.
To do all of this, IVI works in collaboration with the international
scientific community, public health organizations, governments,
and industry.

in a rural endemic community in Odisha, India, which showed
that the oral cholera vaccine can be delivered through the existing
public health infrastructure. This was the first demonstration
project of its kind in India with the oral cholera vaccine. Based
on the results, the Odisha state government is planning to conduct
more vaccinations in remote areas targeting at-risk tribal groups.
•Establishment of a global cholera vaccine stockpile, using the
oral cholera vaccine (ShancholTM) developed through IVI. In
late 2013, GAVI decided to contribute towards the stockpile to
increase access to oral cholera vaccines in outbreak situations and
to further a learning agenda on the use of cholera vaccines in
endemic settings. GAVI agreed to support increase of the
stockpile capacity from two million doses to 20 million doses
over the next five years. The stockpile, managed by WHO, is a
novel mechanism through which the cholera vaccine will be
made available to vulnerable populations to control cholera.

supporting the Dengue Vaccine Initiative (DVI), an initiative
led by IVI, and has granted new funding to DVI to continue its
work in paving the way for dengue vaccine introduction. The
German grant, a first for IVI and DVI, will cover provision of
technical assistance and support to Vabiotech (Vietnam) and
Instituto Butantan (Brazil) for the development of their dengue
vaccine candidates.

getting the vaccine WHO-prequalified.
•Preliminary analyses of typhoid fever surveillance data from
African field sites indicate considerable typhoid fever burden at
sites in Kenya, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Madagascar and Tanzania.
A significant proportion of Salmonella Typhi isolates in Ghana
and Kenya were found to be multi-drug resistant. These
findings may impact policy decisions on the prevention and
control of typhoid. The results are being written up for
publication in 2014.

Annual Report 2013
Discovery and Pre-clinical Studies
IVI conducts basic research to discover and design new vaccines for
use in developing countries. Namely, vaccines that are low-cost,
easy to administer in resource-poor settings, can be produced by
qualified manufacturers in these countries, and protect against
diseases of public health importance in these countries. When
proof of concept is established for a promising vaccine candidate in
the IVI labs, IVI works with a variety of partners to bring the
vaccine to market, which includes technology transfer, clinical
development, and manufacturing - with the end goal of obtaining
WHO prequalification for the vaccine.
In 2013, IVI clarified the participation of mucosal dendritic cells
in the induction of protective immunity by vaccines delivered
through the sublingual or trans-cutaneous route, and made
progress in the development of a novel strategy for vaccine
administration that involves sublingual vaccination (absorption of
the vaccine under the tongue). The following provide in further
detail some major highlights from IVI’s basic research programs in
2013. IVI’s basic research has been supported by the National
Research Foundation of Korea and the Swedish International
Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
Discovery of a new vaccine against dysentery
In 2013, IVI yielded promising data from its preclinical
development of a vaccine against bacillary dysentery (shigellosis).
Dysentery is caused by the bacterial agent, Shigella, which has four
species and 50 serotypes that cause disease. IVI has been working
on the development of the first universal Shigella vaccine that
protects across all species and serotypes. IVI genetically modified
the Shigella bacterium, creating a mutant bacterium that expresses
a shorter lipopolysaccharide on the cell wall, which, in turn,
increases the surface exposure of membrane antigens, including
protein antigens that are conserved across different species and
serotypes of Shigella. IVI demonstrated that intranasal immunization
with three doses of mutant bacteria (live or formalin-inactivated)
induced cross-protection against Shigella flexneri 2a and Shigella
dysenteriae 1 in mice. The findings show that a vaccine using
genetically modified bacteria with enhanced exposure of common
outer membrane proteins could be an efficacious approach to
develop a universal Shigella vaccine.
PROVIDE Study
IVI continued to work on PROVIDE, a study supported by the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, that assesses the effect of
malnutrition on the immune response since it has been commonly
observed that children from developing countries have a decreased
response to live oral vaccines compared with that of children from
developed countries. IVI is part of an international consortium
that includes the University of Virginia, India’s National Institute
of Cholera and Enteric Diseases (NICED), the University of
Vermont, Stanford University, Washington University in St.
Louis, and Bangladesh’s icddr,b.
IVI, with NICED, is conducting research in Kolkata, India that
measures immunogenicity against live oral polio virus (OPV) and
rotavirus vaccines in young children. Enrollment has been
completed and laboratory testing of samples is ongoing.
Preliminary data analysis suggests there is a poor immune response
overall to both vaccines with immunogenicity less than 40 percent.
Furthermore, there appears to be a negative correlation between
maternal breast milk antibody titers and the infant’s immune
response to vaccination, suggesting that breast milk antibodies may
interfere with the infant’s gut immune response.

Process Development and Technology Transfer
Critical to IVI’s work is vaccine development. When a promising
vaccine candidate is discovered and proof of concept is established
in IVI’s labs, IVI takes it to later stages of product development
that include: process and formulation development; technology
transfer to manufacturing partners; manufacturing, and quality
control; clinical development; and regulatory review and approval,
including WHO prequalification. The ultimate aim is to make
safe, effective and affordable vaccines available for the world’s most
impoverished people.
In 2013, IVI’s Process Development and Technology Transfer
team made progress in the development of new production methods
to reduce the cost of manufacturing typhoid and paratyphoid
vaccines, which can help lower the vaccine cost and make it more
affordable. Additionally, they came one step closer to realizing a
new typhoid vaccine for the poor by conducting technology
transfer to two partners, SK Chemicals in South Korea and PT
Biofarma in Indonesia. Having two suppliers of the new typhoid
vaccine will help ensure a cost-competitive and adequate global
supply for those who need the vaccines the most. More details
provided in IVI’s Vaccine Portfolio below.
This work has been made possible with support from the Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation, the National Research Foundation of
Korea, and the Swedish International Development Cooperation
Agency (Sida).

IVI’s Role
IVI, in collaboration with partners in Sweden,
Vietnam and India, reformulated and
developed an existing oral cholera vaccine
to meet WHO standards, thereby allowing
global access of the vaccine.
IVI developed this new typhoid vaccine
based on conjugation technology from the
U.S. National Institutes of Health. The Vi
polysaccharide of Salmonella Typhi is
conjugated to diphtheria toxoid.
Unlike existing typhoid vaccines, this vaccine
is anticipated to confer protection in infants,
as well as a longer duration of protection.
Status
IVI’
s first product to be licensed and WHOprequalified (licensed in India as ShancholTM
in 2009 and WHO-prequalified in 2011). A
WHO global cholera vaccine stockpile was
established in late 2013, and the vaccine has
been deployed in endemic and epidemic
areas in countries such as Haiti, Guinea,
South Sudan, Bangladesh, and India.
IVI continued to optimize the use of the
vaccine through several clinical studies (e.g.,
single-dose study and dose-interval study)
and to increase the global supply of the
vaccine by working with an additional tech
transfer partner, EuBiologics, in South Korea.

Annual Report 2013
Cholera Program
IVI’s Cholera Vaccine Program aims to reduce the burden of
cholera through the development and deployment of safe, effective,
and affordable oral cholera vaccines in populations at risk for
endemic or epidemic cholera. IVI has made significant strides
towards this goal. With partners in Vietnam, India, and Sweden,
IVI reformulated and developed a two-dose, killed, whole-cell, oral
cholera vaccine that was licensed in India (Shanchol TM) in 2009
and WHO-prequalified in 2011.
In 2013, IVI continued to work on optimizing the use of the oral
cholera vaccine and on promoting its uptake in developing
countries. IVI concluded five years’ follow-up of a phase 3 clinical
trial in Kolkata, India, demonstrating that the vaccine provides
sustained protection at an efficacy of 65 percent for at least five
years - a milestone that no other cholera vaccine has been shown to
achieve thus far.1
IVI completed a study in Kolkata that evaluated a boosting
regimen of ShancholTM. Interestingly, a one-dose boosting regimen
of the vaccine was found to be comparable with that of a two-dose.
This has significant public health implications since administering
a single dose of the vaccine could reduce the logistical challenges
and costs of vaccination campaigns that are conducted in resourcelimited settings. IVI, in collaboration with icddr,b, finalized
preparations to conduct a large trial that will evaluate the efficacy
of a single dose of ShancholTM in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Positive
findings from this study could greatly influence strategies for
delivery of this vaccine, particularly in cholera outbreaks and
humanitarian crises.
campaigns in developing countries; such information will include
how to implement and evaluate communications and estimations
of vaccination campaign costs, health impact, and cost effectiveness.
IVI continued to work with GAVI by providing them technical
support and data regarding the oral cholera vaccine and on the
burden of cholera. This contributed to their decision at the end of
2013 to invest in a global cholera vaccine stockpile that was
established by WHO. The stockpile, initially consisting of two
million doses of the oral cholera vaccine, is a novel mechanism
through which the cholera vaccine could be made available to
vulnerable populations to control cholera.
While the stockpile should help increase access of the vaccine for
impoverished and at-risk groups, there is currently only one
supplier of the oral cholera vaccine. Given that the global demand
may outstrip supply, IVI has been collaborating with additional
manufacturers to help ensure a sufficient global supply of the oral
cholera vaccine. IVI transferred the production technology for the
oral cholera vaccine to a manufacturer in South Korea (EuBiologics)
and has been working with this group to develop the vaccine and
bring it to licensure and WHO prequalification. IVI has been
working closely with other manufacturers in Vietnam and
Bangladesh to support the development of the oral cholera vaccine.
IVI gratefully acknowledges the government of Korea, the Swedish
International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundations, LG Electronics, and Kia Motors for
their generous support of the Cholera Program.
In addition, IVI completed a mass vaccination demonstration
project in a rural, cholera-endemic community in Odisha, India,
which showed that the oral cholera vaccine can be delivered
through a program that effectively engages the community and
uses Odisha’s existing public health resources - the first project of
its kind. Based on the study’s success, the state government of
Odisha is planning to conduct cholera vaccinations in more remote
areas targeting vulnerable tribal groups.
Similarly, IVI worked with the governments of Ethiopia and
Malawi to conduct mass vaccination demonstration projects in
cholera-affected areas in those countries. A bridging trial with the
oral cholera vaccine was completed in Ethiopia, the first trial of its
kind for the cholera vaccine in Africa. The mass vaccinations are
slated for 2014. At a broader level, IVI collaborated with Johns
Hopkins University to document and synthesize lessons learned
from past cholera vaccination campaigns and to develop a practical
manual for planning and implementing cholera vaccination

Annual Report 2013
Enteric Fever Program
IVI’s Enteric Fever Program was established with the goal of
reducing the burden of enteric fever in developing countries through:
1) generating evidence on the disease burden; 2) deploying
currently available vaccines; 3) developing new vaccines; and 4)
advocating for the control of enteric fever by vaccination.
Many people associate enteric fever with typhoid fever, a potentially
fatal illness caused by Salmonella enterica, subspecies enterica
serovar Typhi. But enteric fever also includes paratyphoid fever,
which is caused by related serovars Paratyphi A, B, and C, and is
mainly a public health problem in South Asia; and non-typhoidal
Salmonella infections, which tend to be common in sub-Saharan
Africa.
IVI’s Vi-based Vaccines for Asia (VIVA) Initiative has a two-fold
approach: 1) to develop a new Vi-based typhoid conjugate vaccine;
and 2) to pave the way for vaccine introduction in endemic Asian
countries through policy and advocacy activities and provision of
evidence that the vaccination is effective and programmatically
feasible. VIVA is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
A new typhoid conjugate vaccine
IVI has been developing a new typhoid conjugate vaccine that
consists of Vi-polysaccharide conjugated to diphtheria toxoid (ViDT). Unlike existing Vi-polysaccharide vaccines, the new vaccine
is anticipated to confer protection in infants and provide a longer
duration of protection. In 2013, IVI transferred the vaccine
production technology to SK Chemicals of South Korea and PT
Biofarma of Indonesia. IVI is working with these partners on
development of the vaccine and obtaining WHO prequalification.
To support clinical development of the typhoid conjugate vaccine,
IVI has been developing a functional serum bactericidal assay
(SBA) for Salmonella Typhi. The assay is currently being validated
and will be available for transfer to interested partners in 2014.
Paving the way for vaccine introduction
IVI and local partners coordinated school-based vaccination
campaigns in Nepal and Pakistan using the Vi-polysaccharide
typhoid vaccine in 2012. Case-control studies to assess the impact
of the Vi-polysaccharide vaccine were completed in Nepal and
Pakistan in 2013. As a follow-up, IVI was invited by Nepal’s
National Committee on Immunization Practices (NCIP), an
immunization technical advisory group that provides
recommendations to the Nepal government, to discuss the study
results and the status of typhoid vaccination in Nepal, focusing on
the new typhoid conjugate vaccine. Meanwhile, in Pakistan, a
workshop is being planned in order to share and discuss the study
results with key stakeholders.
IVI continued to work on developing a global investment case for
typhoid vaccines, which will serve as a decision-making tool for

as part of social mobilization efforts for the typhoid vaccination campaign
in Nepal.
policy makers, vaccine manufacturers, and donors at global,
regional, and national levels, particularly the WHO and the GAVI
Alliance. To assist in the development of the investment case, IVI
formed an internal advisory committee and an external technical
review committee in coordination with the Coalition against
Typhoid (CaT). The committees will review and advise on the
technical aspects of the investment case. In 2013, a dynamic
disease transmission model to predict the transmission of typhoid
that was developed by IVI was refined and finalized. Publications
regarding this model are being prepared.
Future steps - a new bivalent enteric fever vaccine
In 2013, IVI made progress in its efforts to develop a new bivalent
vaccine against both typhoid and paratyphoid fever based on
similar conjugation platform technology used for the Vi-DT
conjugate vaccine. Preclinical work of the vaccine continued in
IVI process development laboratory. In addition, IVI is
developing a functional assay for Salmonella Paratyphi A (the
bacterial agent of paratyphoid fever), which will be used to
measure immunogenicity of the bivalent vaccine in clinical trials.
15
Finally, IVI conducted a landscape analysis to assess the global
status of the development of typhoid and paratyphoid conjugate
vaccines, looking at target product profile among other criteria. In
addition, IVI was granted funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation to support late-stage preclinical development of the
bivalent vaccine.
IVI’s Typhoid Fever Surveillance in Africa Program (TSAP), a
multi-year program supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation aims to generate scientific evidence on the burden of
typhoid fever in Africa through conducting standardized
surveillance among a network of field sites in ten African countries
(Ghana, Kenya, South Sudan, Madagascar, Guinea-Bissau,
Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Burkina Faso). IVI
coordinates the network and provides training and technical
support to each of the sites. The surveillance process involved
enrollment of patients with fever at the field site hospitals and
diagnostics of the patients’ blood cultures at TSAP-monitored
laboratories.
TSAP provides insight into the burden of other diseases causing
febrile illness, and as such has yielded data on other vaccinepreventable illnesses such as infections caused by Streptococcus
pneumoniae. In addition, it was found that a significant proportion
of Salmonella Typhi isolates in Ghana and Kenya were found to be
multi-drug resistant, which has raised considerable attention.
These results are being summarized for publication in 2014.
IVI was granted follow-on funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation to continue the program. IVI also received funding
from the Else Kroner-Fresenius-Stiftung of Germany to conduct
capacity-building activities at two of the TSAP study sites: Burkina
Faso and Madagascar.
In 2013, surveillance was completed at most of the sites, and data
analyses started. The incidence of typhoid fever was high at sites in
Kenya, Burkina Faso and Ghana, as well as at sites in Madagascar
and Tanzania. Risk factors that may be associated with the disease
(e.g., age, residence, clinical parameters) will be evaluated further
and may impact policy decisions on prevention and treatment
efforts by national stakeholders.

Dengue Program
IVI is the lead coordinating agency of the Dengue Vaccine
Initiative (DVI), an integral part of IVI’s efforts to accelerate the
development and delivery of new dengue vaccines. DVI is a
consortium consisting of IVI, the International Vaccine Access
Center (IVAC) of Johns Hopkins University, the Initiative for
Vaccine Research (IVR) of the World Health Organization
(WHO), and Sabin Vaccine Institute. Supported by the Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation, DVI’s mission is to encourage the
development and consideration of new vaccines to prevent dengue,
and as such, lays the groundwork for dengue vaccine decisionmaking and introduction in endemic areas. Currently the
geographic scope of DVI’s work is Brazil, Colombia, Thailand,
and Vietnam - the potential ‘early adopter’ countries or countries
that have expressed interest in dengue vaccine introduction as soon
as one becomes available.
As a DVI member, IVI is responsible for developing scientific
evidence for decision-making regarding dengue vaccine
introduction, which includes disease burden and economic burden
estimates, serological studies, vaccine demand estimates, and
vaccine impact projections. WHO IVR is responsible for
regulatory issues while IVAC oversees financing and demand
forecasting and Sabin is responsible for advocacy and
communications.
In 2013, IVI made significant progress with the development of a
mathematical model to project vaccine impact in Thailand, the
results of which were published in the open access journal PLOS
Neglected Tropical Diseases.1 A similar model for Latin America is
under development. IVI and local research partners in Thailand,
Columbia, and Vietnam continued field work on surveillance,
sero-prevalence studies, cost-of-illness surveys, and healthcare
utilization surveys. Additionally, IVI prepared for the launch of
dengue surveillance and sero-prevalence studies at selected field
sites in Africa - a first for DVI - to assess the public health
magnitude of dengue in Africa.
In order to create an enabling environment at the national,
regional, and global levels for the introduction of dengue vaccines,
DVI has continued to maintain the Dengue Prevention Board
(DPB), one for the Asia-Pacific region and one for the Americas
region, since its establishment in 2007. The two boards, which are
comprised of dengue experts, policy makers, and other key
stakeholders, usually meet annually, and in 2013, the Asia-Pacific
DPB convened in Bangkok, Thailand. DVI also convened
meetings in Brazil and Thailand with the National Regulatory
Authorities of countries that have expressed interest in the early
adoption of dengue vaccines. Finally, in 2013, DVI received
funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the
German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). For
the German grant, DVI will provide technical assistance and
support to Vabiotech (Vietnam) and Instituto Butantan (Brazil) on
the development of their dengue vaccine candidates.

North Korea Program
IVI has been working in the Democratic People’s Republic of
Korea (DPRK; North Korea) since 2006 in collaboration with the
Academy of Medical Science (AMS), North Korea’s main center of
medical research, to improve the health of children in the country.
The North Korea Program was launched in 2007 with support
from the South Korean Ministry of Unification (MOU) to prevent
and control Japanese encephalitis (JE) and Haemophilus influenzae
type b (Hib), two deadly infectious diseases affecting the central
nervous system. North Korean scientists were introduced to modern
approaches in vaccine development and regulation, and laboratory
diagnostic methods for JE and Hib through study visits and
workshops in China and Vietnam. IVI also provided technical
support in the implementation of pilot JE and Hib vaccination
campaigns that targeted a total of 6,000 children in Nampo, South
Pyongan Province (Hib) and Sariwon, North Hwanghae Province
(JE).
IVI, in collaboration with AMS, initiated a new project in 2012 to
reduce the burden of diarrheal disease and acute encephalitis
syndrome (AES) among children in North Korea, with support
from MOU. In 2013, IVI supported a JE vaccination campaign
coordinated by Caritas Germany and the North Korean Ministry
of Public Health (MOPH) in which over 3 million children were
immunized. IVI also conducted training of AMS scientists for the
surveillance of AES and diarrheal diseases, and several workshops
on the clinical and laboratory diagnosis of AES and diarrheal
diseases were organized by IVI. By the end of 2013, five hospitals
in two provinces were selected to start systematic diarrheal and
meningeal disease surveillance with the possibility of extending to
include diagnoses of invasive bloodstream infections and other
diseases. Surveillance will be launched in 2014 contingent upon
funding.
IVI provided technical support to North Korea’s
Academy of Medical Sciences and Ministry of Public
Health in the implementation of a Hib vaccination
campaign in Nampo, South Pyongan Province.

Policy & Economic Research Center
Ensure that the vaccines developed by IVI will actually be used in places that need them the most
IVI’s Policy and Economic Research (PER) Center focuses on
increasing the use of evidence-based analyses by global-and
national-level policymakers in vaccine introduction decisionmaking. The PER Center works closely with major players in the
global health community (e.g., GAVI Alliance and WHO) to
ensure that the evidence generated by IVI’s research is incorporated
in major vaccine introduction deliberations. The PER Center
disseminated research findings through 14 presentations at various
meetings and conferences worldwide in 2013.
In 2013, the PER Center conducted several cholera analyses based
on IVI data that was used by GAVI in their Cholera Vaccine
Investment Strategy, resulting in the decision by GAVI to finance
the global cholera vaccine stockpile. The stockpile, managed by
WHO, will deploy the oral cholera vaccine (ShancholTM) that was
developed by IVI mainly in emergency situations to combat
epidemic cholera. The establishment of the stockpile has created a
new framework for the supply and financing of the cholera vaccine
in several developing countries where cholera outbreaks are
common.
As part of the PER Center’s work on making the case for an
investment in oral cholera vaccines, a report detailing the scientific
evidence for the introduction of the oral cholera vaccine in
Bangladesh1 was published in March 2013. The PER Center also
published several other abstracts and papers regarding the cholera
burden in Uganda,2 the cholera vaccine stockpile,3 and the costeffectiveness of vaccination at the global level.4
The PER Center also conducts studies and analyses for typhoid
and dengue vaccines. In 2013, the Center completed several
analyses for an investment case in typhoid vaccines and disseminated
the findings to key stakeholders such as GAVI and WHO. The
results were used by GAVI as evidence to support their decision to
invest in the new typhoid conjugate vaccine. The WHO will also
consider the findings generated by the PER Center for policy
recommendations on typhoid vaccines. The PER Center conducted
dengue studies (cost-of-illness study and willingness-to-pay-forvaccine study) in Thailand, Vietnam, and Colombia in collaboration
with the Dengue Vaccine Initiative (DVI). The findings from
these studies will help make the case for dengue vaccine use.
IVI has developed analyses such as investment cases for oral cholera vaccines,
which have been referenced by decision makers and donors.

Biostatistics & Data Management
Biostatistics & Data Management supports IVI’s field research,
which includes clinical trials, vaccination campaigns, and disease
surveillance studies. The Biostatistics & Data Management team
conducts data management, statistical analyses, mathematical
modeling of infectious diseases, and medical geographic research
(i.e., population-based studies in which study participants can be
identified by their geographic location such as the evaluation of
herd protection conferred by vaccines). Besides providing support
to IVI’s field research, the team also conducts their own research.
In 2013, there were three major scientific publications for
Biostatistics & Data Management. The five-year efficacy results of
the inactivated oral cholera vaccine (OCV) developed by IVI were
published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases.1 Data analysis by the
Biostatistics & Data Management team found that the OCV
provides sustained protection at a field site in Kolkata, India for
five years at 65 percent. This level of protective efficacy has not
been demonstrated with other oral cholera vaccines. The team also
demonstrated evidence of herd protection by the OCV in Kolkata,
India, which was published in Clinical Infectious Diseases.2 Herd
protection occurs when the vaccination of a significant portion of a
population prevents the spread of infectious disease to unvaccinated
individuals. The team conducted an analysis and found that nonvaccinees were protected against cholera. The findings have
practical implications since this additional and indirect benefit of
the OCV can help further develop the case for vaccine use. Lastly,
high-risk areas for cholera were identified and analyzed using a
generalized additive model (GAM) to detect risk areas, and to
evaluate the importance of socio-environmental characteristics, which
was published in PLoS One.3 The GAM-based risk map is useful
for policymakers, especially those from countries where cholera
remains to be endemic with periodic outbreaks.

SIVAC Initiative
The SIVAC (Supporting Independent Immunization and Vaccine
Advisory Committees) Initiative was established in 2008, with the
aim to support low- and middle-income countries in Asia and
Africa in establishing or strengthening National Immunization
Technical Advisory Groups (NITAGs). NITAGs issue
recommendations to governments based on scientific evidence, and
thus, are a key means through which countries can make informed
decisions with regards to vaccine introduction and immunization
programs. SIVAC is implemented jointly by IVI and the Francebased Agence de Medecine Preventive (AMP), and is supported by
the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
As a result of SIVAC, NITAGs were established for the first time
in Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan. Following their launch,
IVI has continued to work with these NITAGs to ensure
sustainability and smooth operations. In 2013, IVI provided a
variety of technical support to the NITAGs and their scientific
secretariats in Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan.
SIVAC builds capacity in existing NITAGs by providing training,
technical assistance, and an information resource center for
NITAGs that can be accessed on the SIVAC website. In particular,
IVI has been working with Nepal’s National Committee on
Immunization Practices (NCIP), and in 2013, provided technical
support to the NCIP regarding cholera and typhoid vaccination
program. SIVAC also organizes training workshops for NITAGs in
the Asia-Pacific Region. In 2013, SIVAC, in collaboration with
the WHO Regional Office for Europe and the US Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), organized a training
workshop for NITAG members from Central Asia and Eastern
Europe in Antalya, Turkey. In addition, SIVAC and the WHO
Regional Office for South-East Asia co-organized an orientation
workshop on strengthening of the National Committee of
Immunization Practices (NCIP) of the Republic of Maldives.
Finally, SIVAC co-organized a study tour in Canberra, Australia
for a delegation from Nepal to observe the Australian Technical
Advisory Group on Immunization in June.
