Cost-effectiveness of strategy 1 in cost-effectiveness analysis of JE vaccination for children <15 years of age, Bangladesh. Strategy 1 consisted of a subnational 1-time immunization campaign for children <15 years of age and subnational routine immunization for 9-month-old children over 20 birth cohorts. The subnational approach focuses on 3 divisions with a high number of JE cases: Rangpur, Rajshahi, and Chattogram. This strategy would be considered cost-effective in 99% of simulations at a willingness-to-pay threshold of US $2,400/DALY averted, which is <1 times gross domestic product per capita. DALY, disability-adjusted life year; JE, Japanese encephalitis virus.
