Summary

Hepatitis A epidemiology is shifting, increasing susceptibility. Universal infant or adolescent vaccination in Australia offers comparable cost-effectiveness to other strategies for this vaccine-preventable disease.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health
  • Vaccinology

Background:

  • The epidemiology of Hepatitis A is evolving, leading to a growing susceptible population.
  • The disease burden of Hepatitis A is comparable to other vaccine-preventable diseases.
  • New vaccines for Hepatitis A are available, necessitating a review of vaccination strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the changing epidemiology of Hepatitis A.
  • To assess the cost-effectiveness of different Hepatitis A vaccination strategies.
  • To provide recommendations for a potential universal vaccination program in Australia.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of Hepatitis A epidemiology trends.
  • Cost-effectiveness modeling of selective versus universal vaccination programs.

  • Comparison of Hepatitis A vaccination with other preventive health strategies.

    • Main Results:

    • Selective Hepatitis A vaccination programs can be cost-effective if well-implemented.
    • Evidence suggests potential implementation challenges with selective programs.
    • Universal infant and/or adolescent vaccination programs demonstrate comparable cost-effectiveness.

    Conclusions:

    • A universal infant vaccination program, potentially supplemented by an adolescent program, is a recommended option for Australia.
    • Universal Hepatitis A vaccination is cost-effective relative to other preventive measures.
    • Consideration of competing vaccination priorities is crucial when evaluating universal Hepatitis A vaccination.
