  Invasive non-Typhoidal Salmonella (iNTS) is one of the leading causes of
blood stream infections in Sub-Saharan Africa, especially among children. iNTS
can be difficult to diagnose, particularly in areas where malaria is endemic
and difficult to treat, partly because of the emergence of antibiotic
resistance. We developed a mathematical model to evaluate the impact of a
vaccine for iNTS in 49 countries of sub-Saharan Africa. Without vaccination we
estimate 9.2 million new iNTS cases among children below 5 years old in these
49 countries from 2022 to 2038, 6.2 million of which between 2028 and 2038. The
introduction of a 85% (95%) efficacy vaccine in 2028 would prevent 2.6 (2.9)
million of these new infections. We provide the country-specific impact of a
iNTS vaccine considering the different age structures and vaccine coverage
levels.
