Cost Effectiveness

Vaccines are one of the most cost-effective health innovations, saving countless number of lives. Many of the vaccines that are available today provide great cost savings through both direct medical savings by reducing healthcare and treatment costs and through indirect economic benefits as a result of a healthier population. While vaccines have proven to be cost-effective, rising costs of vaccines and competing priorities highlight implementation challenges that play an important role in vaccine decision making.
