For input parameters, we gathered information from a cost-of-illness study, medical literature, government documents, and expert opinions. The base-case analysis estimated that a subnational campaign for children <15 years of age and routine immunization over 20 birth cohorts in Rajshahi, Rangpur, and Chattogram yielded (in 2021 US dollars) a cost of $82.2 million, $981/disability-adjusted life years averted, $9,964/case averted, and $49,819/death averted (societal perspective). We projected CD-JEV vaccination would be cost-effective across cost perspectives and vaccination strategies in Bangladesh, yielding an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of approximately one third of per capita national gross domestic product. </p>","PeriodicalId":11595,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Infectious Diseases","volume":"197 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142679190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
