The Office of Health Economics, London, has released a study on the socioeconomic value of adult immunization programs, finding that these programs can return up to 19 times their initial investment when the full spectrum of economic and societal benefits is valued. The 19x return is equivalent to billions of dollars in net monetary benefits to society and up to US$4,637 for one individual’s full vaccination course.
The report provides evidence for adult immunization programs across ten countries and four vaccines and shows that these programs offset their costs multiple times through the benefits they bring to individuals, the health care system, and wider society.
