摘要: Hepatitis A (HA) vaccination in Canada is currently targeted toward high-risk groups. The cost-effectiveness and expected health outcomes of universal relative to low-incidence countries such as are unknown. Here, we conducted a cost-utility analysis for this situation, with the study population. We included vaccine costs, time infection public costs. assessed range possible strategies over an 80-year horizon using multiple cost perspectives. dynamic model was used account herd immunity. Aggregate gains from switching modest (10-30 QALYs per year). However, "9+9" strategy that replaces two doses monovalent hepatitis B (HB) at 9/10 years (universally administered most provinces) bivalent HA/HB cost-saving societal perspective. At willingness pay threshold $50,000/QALY, mean net benefit +49.4 (S.D. 12.6) perspective +3.8 QALYS 3.0) payer strategy. Net sensitive marginal HB vaccine. Similar conclusions may apply other low incidence policy.
