Figure 3

Sensitivity to infection rate, vaccine cost, and vaccine effectiveness. The vaccine is less cost-effective at higher vaccine cost, lower vaccine effectiveness and lower annual infection rates. When the line crosses the x-axis, the strategy is cost-saving. QALY = quality-adjusted life year; screen/vaccinate = vaccination of susceptible persons identified through a screening skin test; vaccinate = vaccination of all persons.
