A deterministic realistic age-structured model was used to predict the impact of vaccination on the incidence of varicella and zoster. Unit costs, estimated from literature, were applied to the predicted health outcomes. Various vaccination programs were investigated and a sensitivity analysis was performed. Assuming no impact of vaccination on zoster, varicella vaccination is estimated to cost $45,000,...
For economic reasons, the few influenza vaccination programs seen in developing countries are aimed at the high-risk elderly. To evaluate its efficacy and cost-effectiveness, we conducted a 2-month influenza vaccination campaign in southern Taiwan's A-Lein township for all the elderly. Significant differences in hospitalization and mortality between the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups were found...
The objective of the study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and utility of the mass immunization campaign performed in the province of Quebec in 1992-1993, following an outbreak of serogroup C meningococcal disease (CMD). Effectiveness data were extracted from a population-based cohort study, and cost estimates were obtained from surveys. Costs of the campaign to the health system were $ 26...
Background: In 1994, the Americas set a goal of interrupting indigenous measles transmission from the Western Hemisphere by 2000. To accomplish this goal, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) developed an enhanced measles vaccination strategy. Methods: Cost data was collected at PAHO for Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries covering 96% of the region's population on components of the...
The purpose of this paper is to determine the cost-effectiveness of vaccinating inmates against hepatitis B. From the prison perspective, vaccinating inmates at intake is not cost-saving. It could be economically beneficial when the cost of a vaccine dose is <US$ 30 per dose, or there is no prevalence of infection upon intake, or the costs of treating acute or chronic disease are about 70% higher...
