Research Abstract

This study aims to appraise the 'value for money' of PCV-7 vaccination programfor the birth cohort in Japan. We conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis with Markov model and calculated incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of launching such program as a public health one. We found that ICERs in QALY were about \7,000,000 from the perspective of payers. By adopting WHO's classification that an intervention is 'cost-effective' if ICER (in QALY) is between 1 and 3 times of GDP as a criterion, PCV-7 vaccination program in Japan is concluded as "cost-effective.
