 SMC variable cost per protected child per year $2.31 ($1.67, $3.19) [7]
IPTi
 IPTi cost per dose SP $0.16 [28] S3
 IPTi fixed costs per child per year $2.13 ($1.00, $4.53) [7, 28]
 IPTi variable costs per protected child per year $1.15 ($0.93, $1.42) [7, 28]
RTS,S
 RTS,S cost per dose $5 (assumed) [29]
 RTS,S fixed cost per child per year $9.09 ($0.99, $84.20) [20]
 RTS,S variable cost per fully vaccinated child $33.31 ($5.66, $197.41) [20]

Where cost uncertainty was propagated, costs are shown as median and 95% credible intervals. Costs for treatment of severe and clinical cases were correlated. RTS,S fixed and variable costs were correlated. Treatment distribution and the number of nets distributed increase non-linearly with respect to coverage
