Methods and challenges in measuring the impact of national pneumococcal and rotavirus vaccine introduction on morbidity and mortality in Malawi [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
• Evaluation of vaccine impact and effectiveness is critically important but methodologically challenging. • Challenges include achieving unbiased ascertainment of vaccine status, and non-vaccine-attributable decline in morbidity and mortality. • Use of multiple sites together with diverse evaluation methods provides more robust evaluation.
