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.

Results: The CO model demonstrated that the optimal sequence of vaccine introduction was PPV23 in older adults and PCV10 in children.

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.
