Albert Jan van Hoek is an assistant professor in Vaccine Economics at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. His research interests are focused on answering policy relevant questions about the burden of vaccine-preventable infections and the impact and cost-effectiveness of vaccination programmes.
Elizabeth Miller is an epidemiologist specializing in vaccine evaluation at Public Health England and has a visiting professorship at Tel Aviv University and an honorary professorship at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine where she works on joint PHE/LSHTM projects with Dr van Hoek.
In their recent work together they have investigated the cost-effectiveness of maternal pertussis vaccination, the hospitalised burden of chickenpox and herpes zoster, whether or not to vaccinate healthy 65+ year olds with the 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, and the factors behind the recent resurgence of pertussis in the UK.
