Guide for standardization of economic evaluations in the field of vaccine-preventable diseases
The overall aim of this guide is to provide clear, concise, and practical guidance of a high standard for 'doers' of economic evaluations in the field of vaccine-preventable diseases. They have been developed in order to meet the needs of decision-makers for relevant, reliable and consistent economic information. This guide assumes that the reader is technically literate about the basic methods of economic evaluation, so lengthy explanation have been avoided; the emphasis is on 'what to do' rather than 'how to do'. However, a number of examples have been provided to illustrate some of the more challenging aspects of economic evaluation with particular relevance to vaccines and vaccine-preventable diseases.
