Health Benefits of Universal Influenza Vaccination Strategy
Seniors suffer about 90% of the influenza seasonal mortality burden, and rates of hospitalization and death are increasing as the population ages [1]. Studies of national trends in the United States and Italy showed that even after adjusting for population aging and pathogenicity of circulating influenza viruses, vaccine uptake in seniors was not associated with a decline in influenza-related m...
متن کاملCosts and benefits of influenza vaccination: more evidence, same challenges
Seasonal influenza vaccination coverage in most EU/EEA remains suboptimal. Providers' and users' confidence in influenza vaccines is undermined by reports of moderate to low vaccine effectiveness and by the lack of solid evidence on disease burden. A study from Preaud and co. indicates that even with current levels of vaccine effectiveness, increasing vaccination coverage would significantly re...

Healthcare expenditure in the United States has grown and will continue to increase. The increasing healthcare expenditure is to reduce real income as well as to diminish total utility and increase financial stresses. This study argues that the most critical factor that increases healthcare expenditures during last 50 years has been the advent, adoption and diffusion of new medical technologies...
متن کاملInfluenza vaccination and mortality benefits: new insights, new opportunities.
Influenza vaccination control strategies in most countries rely on vaccination of seniors and other high risk groups. Although placebo-controlled randomized trials show influenza vaccine is effective in younger age groups, few seniors >70 years were studied even though they suffer >90% of influenza-related deaths. Excess mortality studies could not confirm a national decline in influenza-relate...
متن کاملPopulation-wide benefits of routine vaccination of children against influenza.
Using a stochastic simulation model of influenza transmission, clinical illness, and economic costs, we estimated the population-wide benefits of routinely vaccinating US children (ages 6 months to 18 years) against influenza. Disease burden was projected to decline as a result of both reduced susceptibility to infection among vaccinees and reductions in disease transmission to others in the co...
