Scenario analyses: increased PCV20 uptake and decreased PCV20 effectiveness in 65-year-olds by race

Incremental CE ratio (per QALY gained)
Base case Increased PCV20 uptake* Decreased PCV20 relative effectiveness
Black population
 PCV20 $169,540 $169,538 $212,211
 PCV15/PPSV23 $535,797 $5,738,000 $233,300
Non-Black population
 PCV20 $210,529 $210,527 $273,373
 PCV15/PPSV23 $728,423 $5,362,000 $298,468

CE cost-effectiveness, PCV15 15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, PCV20 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, PPSV23 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine, QALY quality-adjusted life year

*10% absolute uptake increase with the one-vaccine PCV20 strategy compared to the two-vaccine PCV15/PPSV23 strategy

20% relative decrease in PCV20 effectiveness due to coverage degradation from multiple added serotypes
