You are the district pharmacy manager. Uganda’s rotavirus vaccine (RV) programme has reached 89% (dose-1) and 65% (dose-2) coverage nationally by 2021. The study found that each 1% increase in dose-1 coverage is associated with a 1% decrease in diarrhoea hospitalisations, and each additional month post-rollout yields a further 2% decrease (interrupted time series). Over 2018–2021, net benefit excluding mortality productivity loss ≈ $57 million (≈ $7 per capita); government spending increased by ≈ $21 million, while household out-of-pocket spending fell by ≈ $40 million. The reported ROI (excluding mortality) is $1.48 per dollar invested. Questions: From which perspective is the primary economic result reported, and why are household time/non-medical costs included alongside out-of-pocket payments? Your district is at 80% dose-1 today. If you raise dose-1 coverage to 85% over the next year (and ignore the “months-since-rollout” effect to keep it simple), what percent change in diarrhoea hospitalisations would you expect, based on the study’s coverage–hospitalisation relationship? Show your working using the reported 1%:1% elasticity. Using the article’s totals (government +$21M; households −$40M; net benefit +$57M, excluding mortality), explain how a programme can raise government spending yet still yield a positive societal net benefit. What does this imply for budgeting and for financial risk protection of households?The article reports $57M net benefit ≈ $7 per capita (excluding mortality). What population base is implied by this per-capita figure? (Compute the implied denominator and interpret whether it likely refers to the under-5 population or the total population, justifying your answer from the text.)Which wealth quintiles gained more, and by how much (ROI range)? How would you translate this into a targeting strategy for raising dose-2 completion in disadvantaged areas?

Which of the solutions is most likely to be used as a negative control?
