Table 6.

Cost-effectiveness of standalone vaccines for ETEC and Shigella, when limited to settings with an ICER less than GDP threshold, by region, 2025–2034. Results from uncertainty analysis are listed below model estimates. Upper and Lower represent 95% uncertainty intervals for each estimate.

*

Total deaths and DALYS are the sum of burden attributed to diarrhea from ETEC or Shigella infection and ETEC- or Shigella-induced deaths from other infectious diseases.

**

“ND” indicates ‘not defined’ as there were no GAVI-eligible countries that met the threshold under the predicted lower bounds (2.5%) of the 95% uncertainty intervals.
