Table 1.

Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) per infection averted and per DALY averted over 15 years of continuous vaccine implementation. Costs are in 2017 US dollars. The values in bold text (for 100% sensitive virus at rollout) represent a scenario of 50% overall vaccine efficacy but without risk compensation or resistant virus; the overall vaccine efficacy in the 83% sensitive virus at rollout is also 50%, as the per-contact efficacy is 60%.

*ICER is dominated (i.e., results in more infections in vaccine scenarios than in the absence of a vaccine).
