Abstract

Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a severe and unpredictable disease, causing acute meningitis and sepsis, which are associated with high mortality and long-term consequences. A national immunization programme to prevent IMD caused by meningococcal serogroups A, C, W and Y has been introduced in the Netherlands. This study aimed to estimate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of introducing the protein-subunit-meningococcal-B-vaccine (4CMenB) to prevent IMD caused by Meningococcal B by using a dynamic transmission-based cost-effectiveness (DyCE) model.
