Economic evaluation of therapeutic cancer vaccines and immunotherapy: a systematic review.
The researchers performed a comprehensive literature review of cost and cost-effectiveness research on therapeutic cancer vaccines and monoclonal antibodies, to better understand the economic impacts of these treatments. They discussed the implications surrounding the economic factors involved in cancer immunotherapies and suggested that further research on cost and cost-effectiveness of newer cancer vaccines and immunotherapies were warranted as this is a rapidly growing field with many new drugs on the horizon.

Health and economic benefits of early vaccination and nonpharmaceutical interventions for a human influenza A (H7N9) pandemic: a modeling study.
In order to determine how quickly vaccination should be completed to reduce infections, deaths, and health care costs in a severe influenza pandemic in a large metropolitan area, researchers used a dynamic transmission model. They found that vaccination in an influenza-A (H7N9) pandemic would need to be completed much faster than in the 2009 pandemic to substantially reduce morbidity, mortality, and health care costs.
