| Back to article Figure 2: Average cost effectiveness
of vaccinating a person against Lyme disease with changes in the cost of vaccination,
probabilities of identifying and treating early Lyme disease, and probabilities of
contracting Lyme disease. A negative value indicates that vaccinating a person will result
in a net cost to society, while a positive value indicates a net savings to society. The
results shown are the means from Monte Carlo simulations (see Table 1 and text for further
details). Vaccine assumed 85% effective (Table 1). |
