Values are point estimate (95% credible interval) and are shown to 3 significant figures. Negative values indicate costs saved, or cases or deaths averted. PCV13=13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. I$=international dollars. DALYs=disability-adjusted life-years.

Because of rounding differences, global values are only approximately equal to the sum of values for individual regions.

Health-system costs include vaccination programme costs and health-care costs; societal costs (out-of-pocket expenses and productivity costs) are excluded.

Because of rounding differences, values are only approximately equal to total incremental costs from PCV13 (discounted) divided by DALYs averted by PCV13 (discounted).
