RESUMO
Despite high pneumococcal disease and economic burden in Indonesia and interest to introduce pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), there were challenges in establishing a comprehensive strategy to accelerate and enable the introduction in country in the early 2010s. Starting in 2017, Clinton Health Access Initiative and partners supported the government of Indonesia with evidence-based decision-making and implementation support for introducing PCV into the routine immunization program. Indonesia has since accelerated PCV roll out, with nationwide reach achieved in 2022. On the path to PCV introduction, several challenges were observed that impacted decision making on whether and on how to optimally roll out PCV, resulting in significant introduction delays; including (1) a complex country context with a devolved government structure, fragmented domestic funding streams, and an imminent transition out of major immunization donor (Gavi) support; (2) strong preference to use domestically sourced products, with limited experience accessing global pooled procurement mechanism including for vaccines; and (3) concerns around programmatic feasibility and sustainability. This case study documents key insights into the challenges experienced and how those were systematically addressed to accelerate new vaccine introduction in Indonesia, with support from local and global stakeholders over time. The learnings would be beneficial for other countries yet to introduce critical new vaccines, in particular those with similar archetype as Indonesia e.g., middle-income countries with domestic manufacturing capacity and/or countries recently transitioning out of Gavi support.

In 2019, Indonesia and the other countries in the World Health Organization South-East Asia Region adopted the goal of measles and rubella elimination by 2023. This report describes Indonesia's progress toward measles and rubella elimination during 2013-2022. During this period, coverage with a first dose of measles-containing vaccine (MCV) decreased from 87% to 84%, and coverage with a second MCV dose decreased from 76% to 67%. After rubella vaccine was introduced in 2017, coverage with the first dose of rubella-containing vaccine increased approximately fivefold, from 15% in 2017 to 84% in 2022. During 2013-2021, annual reported measles incidence decreased by 95%, from 33.2 to 1.4 cases per million population; reported rubella incidence decreased 89%, from 9.3 to 1.0 cases per million population. However, a large surge in measles and rubella cases occurred in 2022, with a reported measles incidence of 29 cases per million and a reported rubella incidence of 3 per million, primarily related to disruption in immunization services caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, approximately 26 million children (an estimated 73% of the target population) received a combined measles- and rubella-containing vaccine during supplementary immunization activities completed in 32 provinces. Progress toward measles and rubella elimination in Indonesia has been made; however, continued and urgent efforts are needed to restore routine immunization services that were adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and close immunity gaps to accelerate progress toward measles and rubella elimination.

OBJECTIVES: Given limited data on factors associated with hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment discontinuation and failure in low- and middle-income countries, we aimed to describe patient populations treated for HCV in five countries and identify patient groups that may need additional support. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort analysis using routinely collected data. SETTING: Public sector HCV treatment programmes in India (Punjab), Indonesia, Myanmar, Nigeria (Nasarawa) and Vietnam. PARTICIPANTS: 104 957 patients who initiated treatment in 2016-2022 (89% from Punjab). PRIMARY OUTCOMES: Treatment completion and cure. RESULTS: Patient characteristics and factors associated with outcomes varied across countries and facilities. Across all patients, median age was 40 years (IQR: 29-52), 30.6% were female, 7.0% reported a history of injecting drugs, 18.2% were cirrhotic and 4.9% were coinfected with HIV. 79.8% were prescribed sofosbuvir+daclastasvir. Of patients with adequate follow-up, 90.6% (89,551) completed treatment. 77.5% (69,426) of those who completed treatment also completed sustained virological testing at 12 weeks (SVR12), and of those, 92.6% (64 305) were cured. In multivariable-adjusted models, in most countries, significantly lower treatment completion was observed among patients on 24-week regimens (vs 12-week regimens) and those initiated in later years of the programme. In several countries, males, younger patients <20 years and certain groups of cirrhotic patients were less likely to complete treatment or be cured. In Punjab, treatment completion was also lower in those with a family history of HCV and people who inject drugs (PWID); in other countries, outcomes were comparable for PWID. CONCLUSION: High proportions of patients completed treatment and were cured across patient groups and countries. SVR12 follow-up could be strengthened. Males, younger people and those with decompensated cirrhosis on longer regimens may require additional support to complete treatment and achieve cure. Adequate programme financing, minimal user fees and implementation of evidence-based policies will be critical to close gaps.

As a country with the high number of deaths due to pneumococcal disease, Indonesia has not yet included pneumococcal vaccination into the routine program. This study aimed to analyse the cost-effectiveness and the budget impact of pneumococcal vaccination in Indonesia by developing an age-structured cohort model. In a comparison with no vaccination, the use of two vaccines (PCV10 and PCV13) within two pricing scenarios (UNICEF and government contract price) was taken into account. To estimate the cost-effectiveness value, a 5-year time horizon was applied by extrapolating the outcome of the individual in the modelled cohort until 5 years of age with a 1-month analytical cycle. To estimate the affordability value, a 6-year period (2019-2024) was applied by considering the government's strategic plan on pneumococcal vaccination. In a comparison with no vaccination, the results showed that vaccination would reduce pneumococcal disease by 1,702,548 and 2,268,411 cases when using PCV10 and PCV13, respectively. Vaccination could potentially reduce the highest treatment cost from the payer perspective at $53.6 million and $71.4 million for PCV10 and PCV13, respectively. Applying the UNICEF price, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) from the healthcare perspective would be $218 and $162 per QALY-gained for PCV10 and PCV13, respectively. Applying the government contract price, the ICER would be $987 and $747 per QALY-gained for PCV10 and PCV13, respectively. The result confirmed that PCV13 was more cost-effective than PCV10 with both prices. In particular, introduction cost per child was estimated to be $0.91 and vaccination cost of PCV13 per child (3 doses) was estimated to be $16.61 and $59.54 with UNICEF and government contract prices, respectively. Implementation of nationwide vaccination would require approximately $73.3-$75.0 million (13-14% of routine immunization budget) and $257.4-$263.5 million (45-50% of routine immunization budget) with UNICEF and government contract prices, respectively. Sensitivity analysis showed that vaccine efficacy, mortality rate, and vaccine price were the most influential parameters affecting the ICER. In conclusion, pneumococcal vaccination would be a highly cost-effective intervention to be implemented in Indonesia. Yet, applying PCV13 with UNICEF price would give the best cost-effectiveness and affordability values on the routine immunization budget.

INTRODUCTION: The clinical and economic impact of cervical cancer consistently become a serious burden for all countries, including Indonesia. The implementation of HPV vaccination policy for a big country such as Indonesia requires a strong commitment from several decision-makers. The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive description on cost-effectiveness and the budget-impact of HPV vaccination policy in Indonesia. METHOD: A cohort Markov model was used to evaluate the cost and the clinical impact of HPV vaccination for 10 years old girls in Indonesia. The researchers consider two doses of all three available HPV vaccines adjusted with the HPV infection profilewith 95% vaccination coverage to estimate the national cervical cancer incidence and mortality. The Budget impact analysis explores three different scenarios covering (1) Two districts per year expansion, (2) oneprovince per year expansion and (3) achieving the National Immunization Program in 2024. RESULTS: Upon fully vaccinating almost 2.3 million 10-year-old girls, 34,723; 43,414; and 51,522 cervical cancer cases were prevented by Quadrivalent, Bivalent and Nonavalent vaccines, consecutively. Furthermore, the highest (591 cases) and lowest (399 cases) mortality were prevented by Nonavalent and Quadrivalent vaccines, respectively. Most of the vaccines were considerably cost-effective and only the Bivalent vaccine with the GAVI/UNICEF price which will be considered a cost-saving strategy.To provide national coverage of HPV vaccination in Indonesia, the government has to provide an annual budget of about US$49 million and US$22 million using the government contract price and GAVI/UNICEF price, respectively. CONCLUSION: HPV vaccination shows a cost-effective strategy and the budget required to provide this policy is considerably affordable for Indonesia.

Objective: Quadrivalent human papillomavirus (QHPV) vaccine has been advised for routine vaccination of pre-adolescent girls globally, and a two-dose QHPV vaccination schedule has been introduced in Indonesia to vaccinate 5th and 6th grade elementary school female students. This post-marketing surveillance study evaluated the possible adverse events following immunization with the two-dose QHPV vaccine in Indonesia. Methods: Girls studying in grade 6 of five designated elementary schools in Jakarta, receiving their 2nd dose of QHPV vaccine and provided informed consent (represented by their parents), were included in the study. Students who had received other immunizations either simultaneously or <1 month ago were excluded. Local and systemic reactions noted at 30 min, and 72 h to 28th day, after the immunization were recorded using a Children Symptom Dairy Card/Kartu Harian Anak Sekolah (KHAS/ Student Daily Card). Results: A total of 500 students from 20 schools were included. No serious adverse events were reported during the study period. Fever (systemic reaction) of mild intensity was noted in 1.6 % (n=8) of participants, which subsided after day 6. Local reactions such as pain, redness and swelling were noted in 59.6% (n=295), 23.6% (n=118), and 17.2% (n=86) of participants, respectively. These resolved without any intervention in majority of the cases after day 5. Conclusion: These results along with the safety data from the pre-licensure clinical trials confirm the favorable safety profile of QHPV vaccine in pre-adolescent girls. The school-based two-dose QHPV immunization program in Indonesia is a safe and effective strategy for optimizing HPV vaccine coverage among pre-adolescent girls.
