Wenger C, Asare EO, Kwon J, Li X, Mwinjiwa E, et al. (2025) Cost-effectiveness analysis of alternative infant and neonatal rotavirus vaccination schedules in Malawi. PLOS Global Public Health 5(4): e0004341.
This study compares the cost-effectiveness of 5 rotavirus vaccine strategies in Malawi from 2025-2034.
#### Vaccine strategies:
#### 1. No vaccination
#### 2. Rotarix 2-dose schedule (administered at 6 and 10 weeks)
#### 3. Rotarix 3-dose schedule (administered at 6, 10, and 14 weeks)
#### 4. Rotarix 3-dose schedule (administered at 6, 10, and 40 weeks)
#### 5. Next-generation neonatal (RV3-BB) 3-dose schedule (administered at 1, 6, and 10, weeks)
These strategies were evaluated from the government and societal perspectives. ICERs were calculated and cost-effectiveness was also evaluated using the net-benefit framework.
