Summary:From the point of view of vaccination, (e.g. in the implementation of a vaccination program), in the decision-making process for the country; pharmacoeconomic and cost analysis techniques are commonly used to assist in allocating limited resources efficiently and/or identifying priority approaches.

[...]of cost-benefit analysis, the definition of'costsaving' is used if the cost of the vaccine is less than the cost of the disease and its consequences.
