1 COST-EFFECTIVE PRICE OF DENGUE VACCINATION IN MALAYSIA Assoc Prof Dr Asrul Akmal Shafie International Fellow, International Society for Pharmacoeconomics & Outcomes Research Program Chairman, Universiti Sains Malaysia

2 Outline What is cost-effective price & how to assess it? How do we measure the economic impact of dengue vaccination? Which dengue vaccination strategies give the best value?

3 What is Cost-Effective Price?: How Much Would You Pay for We put price to reflect the value of the benefit we think it should be Price value = cost-effective Price > value cost-effective Cost-effective price is the max price for the expected value of benefit Price threshold = upper limit of the vaccination price for the intervention to be considered cost-effective as defined by decision makers/who* *

4 What is Cost-Effective Price?: Translating to Research Value = NET MONETARY BENEFIT (NMB) = Benefit Cost So, BENEFIT Avoidance of dengue treatment Avoidance of productivity losses Avoidance of HRQoL losses Avoidance of death DALY - COSTS Vaccine administration Economic Impact

5 What is Cost-Effective Price?: Translating to Research effectiveness P threshold = DALYs lost X CE Threshold+ disease costs+ adm.costs Number of doses : difference between standard of care ie. here no vaccination and vaccination strategy DALYs and costs are discounted

20 Conclusion Dengue vaccination in Malaysia reduces the dengue related health and economic burden ranging from 41-56% for different strategies. A vaccination program would be highly cost-effective at a price below US$46 from the provider perspective in the targeted hotspot R13C30 scenario. The presence of assumptions and uncertainties in key parameters, but have been assessed through DSA and PSA Burden of dengue disease in this study only captures dengue treatment. Other factors such as dengue related deaths, longterm sequelae of dengue disease, vector prevention & control, surveillance, loss in tourism and loss in foreign investment were not included.
