Estimated Human and Economic Burden of Four Major Adult Vaccine-Preventable Diseases in the United States, 2013
The researchers developed a customizable model to estimate human and economic burden caused by four major adult vaccine-preventable diseases (VPD) in 2013 in the United States, and for each US state individually, and suggested that broadening adult immunization efforts beyond influenza only may help reduce the economic burden of adult VPD, and a pneumococcal vaccination effort, primarily focused on reducing NPP, may constitute a logical starting place.
