The scenarios were: "compulsory vaccination" of all adolescents, recommended vaccination of susceptible adolescents on the basis of an "anamnestic screening", a "blood test" or a combination of both ("both tests") and vaccination of adolescents in the private sector, at the parents' charge ("private vaccination"). Probabilities and unit costs were taken from published sources and experts opinion. The accuracy of the anamnestic screening (81.6% sensitivity and 87.3% specificity) was derived from a separate descriptive study among 344 Italian adolescents. The costs and benefits of each scenario were simulated using a Markov model and cost-effectiveness, budget-impact and cost-benefit analyses were conducted. Of all considered scenarios, "both tests" and "anamnestic screening" were the most appealing options with an estimated net direct cost of 5058 and 8929 per life-year gained (compared to no vaccination) versus 14,693-42,842 for the other scenarios. These two scenarios further resulted in substantial net savings for society (over 600,000 per cohort, BCR: 2.17). The need for a serological confirmation was highly dependent on the sensitivity of the anamnestic screening, which is believed to increase once such a program is launched. For practical considerations, "anamnestic screening" seems to be the most convenient option.

Convincing or confusing? / Philippe Beutels in Vaccine, 25(2007)8 ([02/09/2007])  

[article] Convincing or confusing? : Economic evaluations of childhood pneumococcal conjugate vaccination [printed text] / Philippe Beutels, Author ; Nancy Thiry, Author ; Pierre Van Damme, Author . - 2007 . - 1355-1367. Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't Review Languages : English (eng) in Vaccine > 25(2007)8 [02/09/2007] . - 1355-1367 Descriptors: Classification W 1 Serials. Periodicals Indexation Child, Preschool ; Economics ; Humans ; immunology ; Infant ; Journal Article ; Netherlands ; Peer Review ; Pneumococcal Infections ; Pneumococcal Vaccines ; prevention and control ; Vaccines Conjugate Abstract: We review 15 economic analyses of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, published between 2002 and 2006, in terms of methodology, assumptions, results and conclusions. We found a great diversity in assumptions (eg, vaccine efficacy parameters, incidence rates for both invasive and non-invasive disease) mainly due to local variation in data and opinions. Accordingly, the results varied greatly, from total net savings to over euro 100,000 per discounted QALY gained. The cost of the vaccination program (determined by price per dose and schedule (4 or 3 doses, or fewer)), and likely herd immunity impacts are highly influential though rarely explored in these published studies. If the net long-term impact (determined by a mixture of effects related to herd immunity, serotype replacement, antibiotic resistance and cross reactivity) remains beneficial and if a 3-dose schedule confers near-equivalent protection to a 4-dose schedule, the cost-effectiveness of PCV7 vaccination programs can be viewed as attractive in developed countries.

Cost-effectiveness of seasonal influenza vaccination in pregnant women, health care workers and persons with underlying illnesses in Belgium / Adriaan Blommaert in Vaccine, 32(2014)46 ([10/21/2014])  

[article] Cost-effectiveness of seasonal influenza vaccination in pregnant women, health care workers and persons with underlying illnesses in Belgium [printed text] / Adriaan Blommaert, Author ; J Bilcke, Author ; Yannick Vandendijck, Author ; Germaine Hanquet, Author ; Niel Hens, Author ; Philippe Beutels, Author . - 2014 . - 6075-6083. Languages : English (eng) in Vaccine > 32(2014)46 [10/21/2014] . - 6075-6083 Descriptors: Classification W 1 Serials. Periodicals Indexation 2010-02-2 ; Belgium ; Health Personnel ; Influenza Vaccines ; Journal Article ; Models, Econometric ; Peer Review ; R204 ; Risk Abstract: Risk groups with increased vulnerability for influenza complications such as pregnant women, persons with underlying illnesses as well as persons who come into contact with them, such as health care workers, are currently given priority (along with other classic target groups) to receive seasonal influenza vaccination in Belgium. We aimed to evaluate this policy from a health care payer perspective by cost-effectiveness analysis in the three specific target groups above, while accounting for effects beyond the target group. Increasing the coverage of influenza vaccination is likely to be cost-effective for pregnant women (median euro6589 per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained [euro4073-euro10,249]) and health care workers (median euro24,096/QALY gained [euro16,442-euro36,342]), if this can be achieved without incurring additional administration costs. Assuming an additional physician's consult is charged to administer each additional vaccine dose, the cost-effectiveness of vaccinating pregnant women depends strongly on the extent of its impact on the neonate's health. For health care workers, the assumed number of preventable secondary infections has a strong influence on the cost-effectiveness. Vaccinating people with underlying illnesses is likely highly cost-effective above 50 years of age and borderline cost-effective for younger persons, depending on relative life expectancy and vaccine efficacy in this risk group compared to the general population. The case-fatality ratios of the target group, of the secondary affected groups and vaccine efficacy are key sources of uncertainty.
