A new budget analysis has found cost savings of over US$0.20 per child in the target population for measles vaccination in states that integrated measles vaccination with Meningitis A compared to states that implemented a stand-alone measles campaign. The study, published in Health Economics Review, compared the operational campaign costs from budgets and financial reports in Kaduna and Kwara and Plateau states which conducted integrated campaigns in 2019 and Kano and Yobe and Kano which implemented stand-alone measles campaigns.
The analysis of the impact on campaign budget estimated that savings were up to US$420,000 with the integrated strategies, saving over US$200 per 1,000 children in the target population for measles vaccination in the integrated states.
