Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines in Taiwan: optimizing health gains in children and older adults through constrained optimization modeling

Objectives: Budgetary constraints force healthcare authorities to set priorities for optimal vaccine interventions. A comprehensive decision-making tool would help inform the best combination and sequence of introduction of vaccines within constrained budgets. Methods: Looking at available vaccines...

A comprehensive decision-making tool would help inform the best combination and sequence of introduction of vaccines within constrained budgets. Methods: Looking at available vaccines against pneumococcal infections in Taiwan (10/13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines [PCV10, PCV13] and 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine [PPV23]), a constrained optimization (CO) model was used to assess the optimal combination of vaccines in children and older adults that would maximize the quality-adjusted life years under predefined budget constraints. Scenario analyses were carried out to evaluate the impact of vaccine efficacy (VE) on the optimized solution.

The optimal solution was mostly driven by the potential to reduce disease burden in the older adult population. The VE of PPV23 in older adults and the VE of PCV vaccines against serotype 19A invasive pneumococcal disease had little impact on the optimal solution.
