Moreover, this study broadly describes the framework and methodologies of conducting HTA for a health technology. In COVID-19 situation, it is necessary to find a suitable method to assess coronavirus vaccines to identify its efficiency and effectiveness. This study will be helpful for the HTA conducting authorities to find a suitable way to assess vaccines.
