Results from the base case dynamic model showing the effect of varying the discount rates on the cost per Quality Adjusted Life Year; 60% vaccine effectiveness against carriage, 75% vaccine effectiveness against disease in infants, 80% vaccine effectiveness against disease in catch-up cohorts, £40 per vaccine dose, costs in GBP (£) rounded to nearest £100. Please see Table 2 for further details of the strategies modelled.
3.5% for the first 30 years, 3.0% for years 31–75, 2.5% for years 76 to 100.
