Estimating the impact of vaccines in reducing antimicrobial resistance and antibiotics

An extensive assessment of vaccines’ ability to lower antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is given in this research. It highlights the value of vaccinations as an essential instrument for avoiding infections and halting the spread of resistant strains, which lowers the need for medicines. Historically, the emphasis has been mostly on the use of vaccinations to prevent infectious illnesses, with little attention paid to their role in lowering AMR.

This research is unusual in that it provides a thorough evaluation of 44 vaccinations that target 24 infections, including both approved and experimental vaccines. In order to calculate the possible influence of these vaccinations on AMR-related health outcomes, antibiotic use, and financial expenses, a sound technique is incorporated. This paper stands out for its meticulous modeling of the burden avoided by vaccinations.
