This 2008 Canadian study assessed the cost effectiveness of the Zoster Vaccine Live (ZVL) vaccine against herpes zoster (HZ) and post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN). The authors used a cohort model to estimate the burden of HZ and the cost-effectiveness of HZ vaccination from a ministry of health perspective using Canadian population-based data. They examined different ages at vaccination and conducted probabilistic sensitivity analysis.There are about 130,000 new cases of HZ, 17,000 cases of PHN and 20 deaths…

ArticlePublication 2015Distribution of Health Effects and Cost-Effectiveness of Varicella Vaccination
This article reports on an analysis of the impact of universal childhood varicella vaccination on the …
This article reports on an analysis of the impact of universal childhood varicella vaccination on the incidence of herpes zoster (HZ) using dynamic transmission modelling and cost-effectiveness analyses. Scenarios that are considered differ by whether or not immune boosting is included, and whether or not reactivation of vaccine virus is possible. The authors report that health effects of varicella vaccination in scenarios with immune boosting are unevenly distributed: cohorts born just before introduction of vaccination and…
