Abstract

The primary objective of this paper is to serve as a valuable resource for policymakers who are confronted with the evolving landscape of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), considering both free and cost-based vaccination approaches. The potential consequences of shifting from free to cost-based vaccination are explored, encompassing its impact on global vaccine equity and prioritization, economic well-being, healthcare systems and delivery, public health policies, and vaccine distribution strategies. Examining past studies on willingness to pay for the initial COVID-19 vaccine dose and booster shots provides insights into how individuals value COVID-19 vaccinations and underscores the significance of addressing issues related to affordability. If COVID-19 vaccinations incur expenses, using effective communication strategies that emphasize the importance of vaccination and personal health benefits can increase willingness to pay. Making COVID-19 vaccines accessible through public health programs or health insurance can help alleviate financial barriers and increase vaccination rates.

基于成本的 COVID-19 疫苗接种和支付意愿：大流行后的回顾。

本文的主要目的是为面临冠状病毒疾病 2019 (COVID-19) 演变形势的政策制定者提供有价值的资源，同时考虑免费和基于成本的疫苗接种方法。该报告探讨了从免费疫苗接种向费用型疫苗接种转变的潜在后果，包括其对全球疫苗公平性和优先次序、经济福利、医疗保健系统和服务、公共卫生政策以及疫苗分配策略的影响。通过对过去有关 COVID-19 初次接种和加强接种付费意愿的研究，我们可以深入了解个人对 COVID-19 疫苗接种的重视程度，并强调了解决可负担性相关问题的重要性。如果 COVID-19 疫苗接种会产生费用，那么采用有效的沟通策略强调疫苗接种的重要性和对个人健康的益处可以提高支付意愿。通过公共卫生计划或医疗保险提供 COVID-19 疫苗可帮助减轻经济障碍并提高疫苗接种率。

期刊介绍： (formerly Human Vaccines; issn 1554-8619) Vaccine research and development is extending its reach beyond the prevention of bacterial or viral diseases. There are experimental vaccines for immunotherapeutic purposes and for applications outside of infectious diseases, in diverse fields such as cancer, autoimmunity, allergy, Alzheimer’s and addiction. Many of these vaccines and immunotherapeutics should become available in the next two decades, with consequent benefit for human health. Continued advancement in this field will benefit from a forum that can (A) help to promote interest by keeping investigators updated, and (B) enable an exchange of ideas regarding the latest progress in the many topics pertaining to vaccines and immunotherapeutics. Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics provides such a forum. It is published monthly in a format that is accessible to a wide international audience in the academic, industrial and public sectors.
