“…Nevertheless, there is no significant association between WTP for dengue vaccine with knowledge of dengue. This finding is contrary to several of the studies of WTP for dengue vaccine conducted previously which showed significant association between knowledge of dengue with WTP for dengue vaccine (Bracho-Churio et al, 2017;Hadisoemarto & Castro, 2013;Harapan et al, 2017;Lee et al, 2015). These studies reported that knowledge have a significant association with WTP for dengue vaccine where good knowledge is related to a higher WTP for dengue vaccine.…”

“…Higher income category is associated with high WTP for dengue vaccine (χ2=11.974, p=0.003). This finding coincides with all studies of WTP for dengue vaccine done which reported a highly significant association between WTP for dengue vaccine with monthly household income of respondents (Bracho-Churio et al, 2017;Godói et al, 2017;Hadisoemarto & Castro, 2013;Harapan et al, 2017;Lee et al, 2015;Palanca-Tan, 2008).…”

“…This echoes majority of the studies on WTP for dengue vaccine which reported that history of dengue fever is not significantly associated with WTP for the vaccine (Godói et al, 2017;Hadisoemarto & Castro, 2013;Harapan et al, 2017;Lee et al, 2015;Palanca-Tan, 2008). Two studies, however, did show a significant association between history of dengue fever with WTP for the dengue vaccine that is in Vietnam and North Columbia where respondents with positive history of dengue fever having a higher WTP for dengue vaccine (Bracho-Churio et al, 2017;Lee et al, 2015).…”

“…Approximately 57.3% of respondents with good perception towards vaccination as compared to 39.1% of those with poor perception towards vaccination have a high WTP for dengue vaccine. Good perception towards vaccination was shown to be significantly associated with WTP for dengue vaccine in one study in North Columbia (Bracho-Churio et al, 2017). In contrast, other studies did not produced any significant association between perception towards vaccination and WTP for dengue vaccine (Godói et al, 2017;Hadisoemarto & Castro, 2013;Harapan et al, 2017;Lee et al, 2015;Palanca-Tan, 2008).…”

“…Assessment of attitude towards dengue showed no significant association with WTP for dengue vaccine where 57.6% of those with good attitude compared to 48.1 % of those with poor attitude portrayed a high WTP for dengue vaccine. However, several WTP for dengue vaccine studies showed significant association between attitude towards dengue with WTP for dengue vaccine (Bracho-Churio et al, 2017;Hadisoemarto & Castro, 2013;Harapan et al, 2017;Lee et al, 2015). In these studies, it was reported that attitude had a significant association with WTP for dengue vaccine where there was high WTP for dengue with good attitude of respondents.…”

Background: Dengue vaccine can assist in controlling the rise of dengue. Highly effective cost of dengue vaccine in Malaysia is estimated to be between RM50 to RM200 per dose. It is important to know the willingness to pay (WTP) for the vaccine to assist in policy-making decisions for future dengue vaccine programme. The aim of study was to determine willingness to pay for dengue vaccine among healthcare workers (HCW) in Petaling Health District. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among HCWs of Petaling Health District, Selangor from September to July 2018 via simple random sampling according to proportion of HCWs in specific facilities. A self-administered questionnaire using the contingent valuation method was used to estimate WTP. Factors associated with WTP for dengue vaccine were assessed and associations measured using Chi-square test with significance level at 0.05. Results and Discussion: Response rate was 92.2%. Majority of the respondents were female (72.3%), presently married (73.4%) with 93.6% aged 40 years or less, having at least college or matriculation education (54.3%). For monthly household income, 51.1% was between RM 3001 to RM 9000. Only 17.0% had history of dengue with 43.1% having family history of dengue. The median WTP for dengue vaccine was RM 20 per dose ranging between RM1 to RM500. Among the HCWs, 51.1% had a high WTP for dengue vaccine defined as at or above the median WTP. Factors significantly associated with WTP for dengue vaccine were monthly household income (χ2=11.974, p=0.003), dengue preventive practice (χ2=4.715, p=0.03), knowledge of dengue vaccine (χ2=3.062, p=0.05) and perception towards vaccination (χ2=5.593, p=0.02). Conclusion: The study revealed that the range of WTP for dengue vaccine among healthcare workers was RM 1 to RM 500; with 51.1% of HCWs of Petaling Health District having high WTP for dengue vaccine. The predictors for WTP for dengue vaccine were monthly household income, knowledge regarding dengue vaccine, dengue preventive practice and perception towards vaccination.

During the last months, there has been a significant increase in the evidence showing the catastrophic health situation in Venezuela. There are multiple epidemics, increase in emerging and reemerging infectious, tropical and parasitic diseases as consequences of the social, economic and political crises, which would be considered today an anthropogenic disaster. Venezuela is facing in 2019, the worse sanitary conditions, with multiple implications for public health and travel medicine. So far, from a global perspective, this situation will be an impediment for the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDG) in 2030. In this multiauthor review, there is a comprehensive analysis of the situation for infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, their impact in the Americas region, given the migration crisis as well as the relative status of the SDG 2030. This discussion can provide input for prioritizing emerging health problems and establish a future agenda.

Introduction Given the initial shortage of vaccines to protect against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), many countries set up priority lists, implying that large parts of the population had to wait. We therefore elicited the willingness to pay (WTP) for access to two hypothetical COVID-19 vaccines. Methods Respondents were asked how much they would be willing to pay to get an immediate COVID-19 vaccination rather than waiting for one through the public system. We report data collected in January/February 2021 from the European COVID Survey (ECOS) comprising representative samples of the population in Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, the Netherlands, and the UK ( N = 7068). Results In total, 73% (68.5%) of respondents were willing to pay for immediate access to a 100% (60%) effective vaccine, ranging from 66.4% (59.4%) in the Netherlands to 83.3% (81.1%) in Portugal. We found a mean WTP of 54.36 euros (median 37 euros) for immediate access to the 100% effective COVID-19 vaccine and 43.83 euros (median 31 euros) for the 60% effective vaccine. The vaccines’ effectiveness, respondents’ age, country of residence, income, health state and well-being were significant determinants of WTP. Willingness to be vaccinated (WTV) was also strongly associated with WTP, with lower WTV being associated with lower WTP. A higher perceived risk of infection, higher health risk, more trust in the safety of vaccines, and higher expected waiting time for the free vaccination were all associated with a higher WTP. Conclusion We find that most respondents would have been willing to pay for faster access to COVID vaccines (jumping the queue), suggesting welfare gains from quicker access to these vaccines. This is an important result in light of potential future outbreaks and vaccines. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40273-023-01284-5.
