Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Vaccination Compliance Strategies Using a Novel Hybrid Model for Influenza Vaccination.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The cost-effectiveness of vaccination strategies plays a crucial role in managing infectious diseases such as influenza within public health systems. This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of vaccination compliance strategies by comparing an "adherence" strategy, which promoted continuous vaccination uptake, with a "volunteer" strategy through model-based simulations.

Methods

We developed a novel hybrid model that integrates continuous-time agent-based models (ABMs) with a Markov model to simulate vaccination behaviors and disease dynamics at the individual level. The model incorporated socioeconomic factors, vaccine efficacy, and population interactions to evaluate the long-term health outcomes and associated costs of different vaccination compliance strat
