Effectiveness and Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Influenza Vaccination Among the Adolescents in the United States
Abstract
reduce the heavy disease burden in every flu season. In this study, we applied a simulation model to estimate the economic outcomes of influenza vaccination among adolescents in the United States in 2024. In this study, we use the competing choice method to compare the costeffectiveness of vaccination and no vaccination. We divide the cohort group into the younger age group (10-14) and the elder age group (15-
19). We use the estimation of net cost and net quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) to calculate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER)
of influenza vaccination in three different coverage of 50%, 80%, and 100% in 2024. The result shows the highest cost-effectiveness for 80%
coverage and younger age group, and the largest health benefit for 100% coverage among adolescents from 10 to 19 in the US in 2024.
