Epidemiologic and economic impact of pharmacies as vaccination locations during an influenza epidemic.
During an influenza epidemic, where early vaccination is crucial, pharmacies may be a resource to increase vaccine distribution reach and capacity. In this paper, the investigators utilized an agent-based model of the US and a clinical and economics outcomes model to simulate the impact of different influenza epidemics and the impact of utilizing pharmacies in addition to traditional (hospitals, clinic/physician offices, and urgent care centers) locations for vaccination for the year 2017.

Projected effectiveness and added value of HIV vaccination campaigns in South Africa: a modeling study.
Sci Rep 2018 Apr 17;8(1):6066. doi: 10.1038/s41598-018-24268-4.
In this paper, the authors estimated the potential epidemiological and economic impact of HIV vaccine campaigns compared to continuous vaccination, assuming that vaccine efficacy was transient and dependent on immune response. The investigators concluded that results suggested a partially effective HIV vaccine would have substantial impact on the HIV epidemic in South Africa and offer good value if priced less than $105 for a five-dose series. They suggested that vaccination campaigns every two years may offer greater value for money than continuous vaccination reaching the same coverage level.

The cost of interventions to increase influenza vaccination: a systematic review.
This study sought to systematically review economic evaluations of healthcare-based quality improvement interventions for improving influenza vaccination uptake among general populations and healthcare workers. The investigators concluded that quality improvement interventions for influenza vaccination involved per-enrollee costs that were similar to the cost of the vaccine itself ($11.78-$36.08/dose). They suggested that based on limited available evidence in general populations, quality improvement interventions may be cost saving to cost effective for the health system.
