This toolkit highlights how PATH’s Living Labs initiative uses a 4D human centered design approach to engage frontline immunization health care workers to understand factors that affect their motivation and engagement in providing health care services.The tools in this methodology are geared toward co-creating solutions that are in the innovation sweet spot, which is the point at which the three innovation attributes (desirability, feasibility , and viability) overlap. The tools seek to accelerate innovation and foster rapid testing and evaluation.A key aspect is to frame the problem that is, to identify and understand the user, their needs, and their context and then co create solutions that respond to those needs. Although our learned experiences largely involved frontline immunization workers, this toolkit has also been applied with community members, caregivers, community health workers, and ministry of health decision makers, as well as global development stakeholders, to address the system wide complexities of a health challenge.

A synthesis of the full review on current, published evidence relevant to single-dose HPV vaccination. This includes immunogenicity, efficacy and effectiveness; identification of gaps in the evidence; and forthcoming evidence.

Current live, oral rotavirus vaccines (LORVs) are reducing severe diarrhea in all settings, but they are not as effective in places with the highest burden. Alternative approaches in advanced clinical development include injectable next-generation rotavirus vaccines (iNGRVs), which have the potential to better protect children against disease, be combined with existing routine immunizations, and be even more affordable than the current LORVs. PATH conducted a series of studies to understand the real public health value of iNGRVs to help inform decisions by international agencies, funders, vaccine manufacturers, and countries. This included a feasibility and acceptability study with national stakeholders and healthcare providers in Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Peru, Senegal, and Sri Lanka to assess their preferences for different hypothetical rotavirus vaccine options. These briefs provide an overview of the results in each of the study countries.

PATH conducted a series of studies to understand the real public health value of iNGRVs to help inform decisions by international agencies, funders, vaccine manufacturers, and countries. This included: targeted analyses on the ideal age group for iNGRVs and potential future combination vaccine options, impact and cost effectiveness analyses, a feasibility and acceptability study with national stakeholders and healthcare providers in six countries, and a demand forecast. This brief provides a comprehensive summary of the results.

PATH conducted a series of studies to understand the real public health value of iNGRVs to help inform decisions by international agencies, funders, vaccine manufacturers, and countries. This included an impact and cost-effectiveness analysis examining multiple rotavirus vaccine options and strategies. This fact sheet provides an overview of the results.
