Priority setting of vaccine introduction in Bangladesh: a multicriteria decision analysis study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To prioritise vaccines for introduction in Bangladesh.

Methods

Multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) process was used to prioritise potential vaccines for introduction in Bangladesh. A set of criteria were identified, weighted and assigned scores by relevant stakeholders (n=14) during workshop A. The performance matrix of the data of vaccines against the criteria set was constructed and validated with the experts (n=6) in workshop B. The vaccines were ranked and appraised by another group of stakeholders (n=10) in workshop C, and the final workshop D involved the dissemination of the findings to decision-makers (n=28).

Results

Five criteria including incidence rate, case fatality rate, vaccine efficacy, size of the population at risk and type of population
