Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health Policy
  • Health Economics

Context:

  • Measles elimination remains a global health priority.
  • China faces challenges in optimizing immunization strategies for cost-effectiveness.
  • Henan province provides a case study for evaluating immunization approaches.

Purpose:

  • To compare the cost-effectiveness of measles mass vaccination campaigns versus a routine two-dose immunization schedule in China.
  • To analyze economic and epidemiological data to determine the most efficient measles control strategy.
  • To inform policy decisions regarding measles elimination in resource-constrained settings.

Summary:

  • A cost-effectiveness analysis compared measles mass campaigns with a two-dose schedule using Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) from 1997-2020 in Henan province.

  • The Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (CER) indicated a descending trend over time.
  • Mass campaigns demonstrated positive economic benefits after 2013, surpassing the two-dose schedule.

    • Impact:

    • The findings suggest that measles mass campaigns are a more cost-effective strategy for measles elimination in China.
    • This research provides evidence to guide public health interventions and resource allocation for infectious disease control.
    • Implementing mass campaigns can lead to significant long-term economic advantages and improved public health outcomes.
