Vaccines for the 21st Century: A Tool for Decisionmaking
value of the cost per QALY gained is $5,000. If the target population was all 12-year-olds, the annualized present value of the cost per QALY gained is $3,000. Using committee assumptions of less-than-ideal utilization and including time and monetary costs until a vaccine program is implemented, the annualized present value of the cost per QALY gained is $7,400. If the target population was all 12-year-olds (assuming 50% utilization), the annualized present value of the cost per QALY gained is $4,000.
See Chapters 4 and 5 for details on the methods and assumptions used by the committee for the results reported.
