Infant hospitalisations and fatalities averted by the maternal pertussis vaccination programme in England, 2012-2017: Post-implementation economic evaluation.

In October 2012, a maternal pertussis vaccination programme was implemented in England following an increased incidence and mortality in infants. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of the programme by comparing pertussis-related infant hospitalisations and deaths in 2012-2017 with non-vaccination scenarios. Despite considerable uncertainties, findings support the cost-effectiveness of the programme.
