Canadian researchers evaluate 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.
2003 MAR 19 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- A pharmacoeconomic evaluation of a 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine was conducted in Canada.
"The objective of this study was to evaluate the projected health benefits, costs, and cost-effectiveness of pneumococcal conjugate vaccination for infants and children aged
"Implementation of a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine program in Canada for each annual birth cohort of 340,000 persons observed over 10 years would be expected to save approximately 12 lives and 100,000 cases of pneumococcal disease over 10 years, resulting in total savings of CDN$67 million (Canadian dollars)," reported Marc H.
