The correlation and determinants of cost-benefit analysis of measles vaccines among the medical centers providing Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI)

Introduction: Measles is a highly contagious viral infection, vaccine-preventable diseases claim the lives of nearly 30 million people each year around the world, including 17% of children under the age of 5. Methodology: This was a descriptive and cross-sectional investigation. Retrospective data collection was used. We looked at medical centers that provided EPI administrations. Results: Around 8% of the youngsters in the study were found to have measles, according to the health center's records. There are an undetermined number of measles-infected children. Only 12% of those surveyed had received the measles vaccine, and the vast majority (88%) had never received the shot. According to statistical analysis, the study's r square value is r=0.35, which is considered to be an intermediate direct relationship (Wastage of vaccine and total cost). It illustrates that if there is no system of checks and balances on vaccine waste, it could have an impact on the overall cost of the vaccination. Vaccines wastage shows a positive association with Dose wastage x2= 438.8 (p-value 0.002). the breakage of vaccine vial x2 = 369.6 (p-value 0.015), expiration of vaccines x2 = 1068 (p-value 0.006), cold chain maintenance x2 = 79.99 (p-value 0.014) & inventory missing was x2 646.9 (p-value 0.004) showed statistical significance. Conclusion: The elimination of any disease would be contributed by the parallel factors one of that includes also financial state. In less time and cost we can vaccinate the number of children and can achieve universal coverage of immunization.
