Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine Introduction in Madagascar (TyMA): Evaluation of the Real-World Effectiveness of the Vi-CRM197 Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine in Madagascar (TyMA)
This study evaluates the real-world effectiveness, safety, and immunogenicity of a single dose of the Vi-CRM197 typhoid conjugate vaccine (TCV) delivered through a mass vaccination campaign in selected districts of Madagascar. The study targets individuals aged 9 months to 45 years living in defined catchment areas with a high burden of typhoid fever.
The project integrates three components: a population census with geographic mapping, a vaccination campaign using a WHO-prequalified Vi-CRM197 TCV, and prospective surveillance for typhoid fever. Vaccine effectiveness will be assessed by comparing the incidence of blood culture-confirmed Salmonella Typhi infection among vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals during follow-up. Additional outcomes include clinically suspected typhoid fever, severe disease, vaccine safety, immunogenicity, antibiotic use and consumption, and carriage of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) markers.
The study aims to generate real-world evidence to inform public health decision-making regarding typhoid vaccine introduction and its broader impact on disease burden and antimicrobial resistance in endemic settings.

Descripción detallada
Typhoid fever, caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, remains a major public health problem in many low- and middle-income countries, particularly in settings with limited access to safe water and sanitation. The emergence of antimicrobial resistance further complicates treatment and underscores the importance of preventive strategies such as vaccination. Typhoid conjugate vaccines (TCVs) have demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials, but data on their real-world effectiveness and broader population impact in African settings remain limited.
The TyMA study evaluates the impact of a mass vaccination campaign using a WHO-prequalified Vi-CRM197 TCV in selected districts of Madagascar. The study employs a population-based design integrating a baseline census, vaccination activities, and longitudinal surveillance.
Eligible individuals aged 9 months to 45 years will receive a single intramuscular dose of Vi-CRM197 during a community vaccination campaign.
Vaccine effectiveness will be assessed through both active and enhanced facility-based surveillance for typhoid fever over approximately three years Blood culture testing will be performed for suspected cases to identify laboratory-confirmed S. Typhi infection. Effectiveness estimates will be derived by comparing incidence rates between vaccinated individuals and unvaccinated controls within the censused population.
Subgroups of participants will be enrolled in additional cohorts to evaluate specific outcomes:
- Safety cohort: Active monitoring for adverse events following vaccination
- Immunogenicity cohort: Measurement of anti-Vi IgG antibody responses over time
- Active follow-up subpopulation: Regular household visits to identify febrile illness and healthcare utilization
- AMR cohort: Assessment of antimicrobial use, consumption, and carriage of antimicrobial resistance markers
Passive surveillance in selected healthcare facilities will complement active follow-up to capture cases presenting for care. Data on antibiotic prescribing, hospitalization, and clinical outcomes will also be collected.
The study will assess direct, indirect, and overall vaccine protection at the population level and explore the impact of vaccination on antimicrobial use and resistance patterns. Findings are expected to provide critical evidence to support national and regional policy decisions regarding typhoid vaccine introduction and strategies to mitigate antimicrobial resistance.

Experimental: Vaccination Campaign: Vi-CRM197 Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine
Participants aged 9 months to 45 years residing in the defined catchment area will be offered a single intramuscular dose of the Vi-CRM197 typhoid conjugate vaccine as part of a population-based vaccination campaign. Vaccine effectiveness will be evaluated prospectively through active and facility-based surveillance for typhoid fever. |
Single-dose Vi-CRM197 typhoid conjugate vaccine administered intramuscularly to age-eligible individuals during a mass vaccination campaign. The vaccine is WHO-prequalified and intended to prevent infection with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. |

Incidence of blood culture-confirmed typhoid fever (Salmonella Typhi)
Periodo de tiempo: From census enrollment up to 52 months
|
Incidence of typhoid fever defined as isolation of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi from blood culture among individuals residing in the study catchment area. Vaccine effectiveness will be estimated by comparing incidence between individuals who received a single dose of Vi-CRM197 typhoid conjugate vaccine during the vaccination campaign and unvaccinated individuals within the censused population using active and enhanced facility-based surveillance. |
