Cost-effectiveness of maternal pertussis immunization: Implications of a dynamic transmission model for low- and middle-income countries

Abstract

Highlights • (84) Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have experienced a resurgence of pertussis.• (74) Maternal aP immunization could prevent pertussis among very young infants.• (84) A dynamic transmission model was used to evaluate maternal aP immunization in LMICs.• (82) Maternal aP is cost-effective when infant vaccination coverage is moderate or low.• (85) Maternal aP immunization is not cost-effective in LMICs with infant coverage 90-95%.
