Here, we report vaccine effectiveness up to 8 years following a single dose of TCV in Nepal.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>TyVOID was a prospective cohort study that extended the follow-up of children enrolled in a phase 3, double-blind, randomised controlled trial in Lalitpur, Nepal (TyVAC; Nov 20, 2017, to Oct 20, 2021). Children aged 9 months to 15 years were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive Vi-tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine (Vi-TT) or a capsular group A meningococcal conjugate (MenA) vaccine. After unmasking and crossover vaccination, our study followed the trial participants until Oct 31, 2025. TyVAC participants who received Vi-TT were eligible for this study and categorised into either the 2017-18 cohort or 2020-21 cohort, depending on when they received the Vi-TT vaccine. The primary outcome, which was assessed in children who received both Vi-TT and MenA vaccines and with known TCV vaccination status during the government catch-up campaign in 2022, was the incidence of blood culture-confirmed typhoid identified through facility-based passive surveillance and medical record review. Adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were estimated using Poisson regression adjusted for age and sex. Vaccine effectiveness at 1-5 years and 4-8 years post-vaccination was estimated using a test-negative design among febrile children presenting to surveillance clinics, comparing odds of Vi-TT vaccination between culture-confirmed typhoid cases with negative controls.</p><p><strong>Findings: </strong>16 131 TyVAC participants were enrolled at TyVOID baseline, of whom 14 850 provided information on Vi-CRM<sub>197</sub> vaccination during the government catch-up campaign. After crossover and unmasking, the primary analysis population included 4941 participants vaccinated with Vi-TT in 2017-18 and 4856 participants vaccinated with Vi-TT in 2020-21. In 4856 participants in the 2020-21 Vi-TT cohort, 2402 (49·5%) were female, 2454 (50·5%) were male, and the median age at Vi-TT vaccination was 10·4 years (IQR 7·3-13·7). In 4941 participants in the 2017-18 Vi-TT cohort, 2482 (50·2%) were female, 2459 (49·8%) were male, and the median age at Vi-TT vaccination was 7·7 years (IQR 4·5-11·0). During a median follow-up of 3·7 years (3·7-3·8), the typhoid incidence rate was 111 per 100 000 person-years (95% CI 64-177) in the 2017-18 cohort and 46 per 100 000 person-years (18-94) in the 2020-21 cohort (adjusted IRR 2·41 [95% CI 1·00-5·80]; one-sided p=0·025). Vaccine effectiveness was 77% (95% CI 46-90; p=0·0006) in the 2020-21 Vi-TT cohort (1-5 years after vaccination), and 53% (8-76; p=0·027) in the 2017-18 Vi-TT cohort (4-8 years after vaccination).</p><p><strong>Interpretation: </strong>A single Vi-TT dose confers strong protection in the first 4 years among Nepali children, w","PeriodicalId":48783,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Global Health","volume":" ","pages":"104009"},"PeriodicalIF":22.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148708088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on 15 years of field research in Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, and Jordan, we argue that part of the failure of the global health architecture stems not principally from violations of international humanitarian law, but from its design as a technical enterprise detached from the political economy of power, financing, and governance. In practice, the system was structured to document harm rather than to hold anyone accountable for it. We distinguish humanitarian neutrality, understood as the operational duty to assist all civilians, from technical neutrality, which excludes political accountability in ways that protects institutional relationships and funding. We define a political economy of health approach, identify specific actors capable of changing the system, and acknowledge both the real, although uneven, effects of documentation and the structural constraints, namely sovereignty, donor dependence, and entrenched interests, that any reform should confront.
