Table 4.

The mean ICERs without herd immunity and the average percentage reduction in ICERs with the inclusion of herd immunity

ICER Without HI effects Actual ICER reduction with HI Percentage reduction in ICER with HI (mean)a (%)
All studiesb (mean) $/QALY (n = 14) $55,552 $41,074 28
$/DALY (n = 23) $11,211 $6,470 61
Pneumococcal Diseaseb (mean) $/QALY (n = 11) $61,789 $48,056 31
$/DALY (n = 4) $2,681 $1,728 49

ICER incremental cost-effectiveness ratio, HI herd immunity, QALY quality-adjusted life-year, DALY disability-adjusted life-year

aThe average of the percentage reduction of each ICER pair. It does not equal to the actual ICER reduction with HI over the ICER without HI effects

bCost-saving results are not included
