Replication Data for: Cost-Effectiveness and Budget Impact Analyses of Strategies to Improve Measles Vaccination Coverage in Kenya

Abstract

This dataset includes the excel-based Markov Model that was developed for the cost-effectiveness of the Measles Vaccination Strategies. Within it contains all the parameters used in the analysis that are also reported in the manuscript. The parameters were collected from different secondary sources that are also detailed in the manuscript. Current Vaccine coverage estimates were sources from the Kenya National Vaccine Immunization Program while target coverage were either based on historic trends or assumptions. Epidemiological estimates including reporting rates, probability of infection, vaccine efficacy estimates, and case-fatality rates were sourced from different literature sources that are reported in detail in the manuscript. Cost-estimates were from different sources including UNICEF reports, literature sources for delivery costs (Levin et al 2023), Ministry of Health costing data and a cost of illness study for measles in Kenya. Disability adjusted life years were obtained from global burden of disease studies. These data was then used to develop the transition probabilities across the different health states, the Markov model for the different strategies and subsequently, the Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Planes and Cost-Effectiveness Acceptability Curves, all of which are available in the excel-based Markov Model.
