The expected number of cases of chickenpox to age 25 years would be reduced from 95,400 to 4800; costs of medical treatment and work loss would correspondingly decline by $1,678,000 and $9,781,000, respectively. On balance, vaccination is estimated to yield net economic benefits of $6,...
Chickenpox in the United Kingdom, where vaccination is not undertaken, has had a stable epidemiology for decades and is a routine childhood illness. Because of vaccination, chickenpox is now a rarity in the USA. In the UK vaccination is not done because introduction of a routine childhood vacci...
Mathematical models exist for vaccination programs for common childhood diseases such as measles, chickenpox, polio, rubella, and mumps. In compartmental models, the population is divided into compartments containing susceptible, infected, and immune individuals, and the model also takes account of the ...
other adults for two reasons. First, a health care worker is more likely to be exposed to certain risks of infection (such ashepatitis B) than the normal population. Second, if a health care worker becomes infected, they may transmit those infections to their patients (chickenpox, pertussis)...
