Vaccination program in a resource-limited setting: A case study in the Philippines

Abstract: ObjectiveImplementing national-level vaccination programs involves long-term investment, which can be a significant financial burden, particularly in resource-limited settings. Although many studies have assessed the economic impacts of providing vaccinations, evidence on the positive and negative implications of human resources for health (HRH) is still lacking. Therefore, this study aims to estimate the HRH impact of introducing pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) using a model-based economic evaluation.Met… Show more

“…The workloads, due to PCVs implementation, of various categories of health workers were estimated using the methods from a prior study [25] . We identified the set of healthcare services, the number of episodes for each disease, and the tasks and consultation time needed to provide the services.…”

“…In addition to the costs of the vaccines themselves, another consideration to implementing large-scale healthcare programs is the availability of specialized healthcare professionals to deliver immunization services [49]. A 2016 study examining the impact of vaccination programs on healthcare-related human resources in the Philippines concluded that although implementing PCV13 would require greater staffing of full-time general practitioners, nurses, and midwives, it would simultaneously lower the need for other healthcare professionals including pediatricians, infectious disease specialists, and pharmacists, among others [49]. The study also found no differences in healthcare resource requirements between implementing a PCV10 or PCV13 program [49].…”
