This PDVAC session will review the outputs of the BoED WG group since the 2018 PDVAC recommendation and consider the potential scope expansion of this group to evaluate current data and methodology to assess morbidity for these pathogens.
The objectives for the virtual PDVAC meeting on 11 May 2020 are to:
1. Review the status of workstreams related to improving quantification of the under 5 mortality, caused by individual enteric pathogens;
2. Discuss the impact of findings and their potential implications to future under 5 mortality estimates;
3. Provide an overview of the proposed expansion of the working group scope to evaluate the data and methodology to quantify the morbidity burden of enteric pathogens.
