Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, Cost-Effectiveness of Vaccines and Public Health, focuses on cost-effectiveness assessments of vaccines and their use in assessing the public health value of vaccines and vaccination. Authors are encouraged to submit cost-effectiveness studies of novel vaccines or vaccine candidates for neglected, emerging, reemerging, or even major infectious diseases that consider public health impact. Authors are also encouraged to submit reviews of such studies. Analyses based on trial data are accepted. Authors are also encouraged to submit empirical or methodological studies that augment traditional cost-effectiveness analyses of vaccines to assess their full public health value. These studies can include other valuation methods that supplement cost-effectiveness, such as valuing distributional consequences, economic welfare impacts, and impacts on life expectancy. They can also include studies extending cost-effectiveness analyses, such as extended cost-effectiveness, which incorporates equity and distributional considerations. Authors are encouraged to submit studies of novel methods of translating traditional cost-effectiveness analyses to realize greater public health value. These studies can include vaccine investment analyses, health systems impact analyses, assessments of vaccination strategies, and even public health interventions that improve vaccination outcomes.
