An Economic Comparison in the Elderly of Adjuvanted Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine with Recombinant Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine in Spain
Influenza infections impose a high burden of morbidity and mortality among older adults, at great cost to individuals and society. Enhanced influenza vaccines, which contain either an immune adjuvant or higher than normal doses of influenza virus antigens, are recommended for older adults. We used a...

description | Influenza infections impose a high burden of morbidity and mortality among older adults, at great cost to individuals and society. Enhanced influenza vaccines, which contain either an immune adjuvant or higher than normal doses of influenza virus antigens, are recommended for older adults. We used a health economics model to evaluate the cost effectiveness in Spain of a recently licensed recombinant quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIVr), which contains three times the standard dose of influenza virus hemagglutinin but no neuraminidase, compared with an MF59-adjuvanted quadrivalent influenza vaccine (aQIV). Based on current tender prices in Spain and a conservative assumption that QIVr is 10.7% relatively more effective than aQIV, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) for QIVr was EUR 101,612.41 per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained. To meet the Spanish willingness-to-pay threshold of EUR 25,000 per QALY gained, QIVr would need to be 34.1% relatively more effective than aQIV. In a probabilistic sensitivity analysis conducted to confirm the robustness of the analysis, 99.7% of simulations for QIVr were higher than the willingness-to-pay curve. These findings suggest that QIVr is not currently a cost-effective influenza vaccine option relative to aQIV for older persons living in Spain. |
