Question
The effects of alternative vaccine compositions on the outcomes of the cost-effectiveness analysis were assessed. Results are reported for PCV10 with modified effects for serotypes 19A and 6A and for PCV13 with modified effects for serotypes 3 and 6C.
Answer
Conclusion: The assumption about serotype 3 in PCV13 is crucial. In addition, assumptions about the role of 6A in PCV10 is important.
If serotype 3 is not included as a vaccine type in PCV13, then the differences between PCV10 and PCV13 in IPD, quality adjusted life years gained and medical costs are small (see Tables 1-7 in Section 1 below). Considering the magnitudes of these differences in view of the intrinsic uncertainties in the model, PCV10 and PCV13 can be regarded as equally effective.
Rationale
1.Vaccine effects on IPD, QALYs and costs by age group for alternative scenarios
Quantities tabulated:
IPD = number of IPD cases per year in Finland
IPD decrease = decrease in IPD due to the first mentioned vaccine
QALYs lost = QALYs lost due to IPD per year in Finland, in years
QALY=quality adjusted life year
QALYs gained = QALYs gained due to the first mentioned vaccine
Medical costs = Medical costs due to IPD per year in Finland in 1000 euros
Medical savings = Difference in medical costs in 1000 euros per year
in favor of the first mentioned vaccine
Vaccine formulation considered:
PCV10 includes the 10 serotypes in PCV10 and direct effects for serotypes 6A and 19A
PCV10(6Af) includes the 10 serotypes in PCV10 amended
by serotype 6A and direct effects (##) for 19A
PCV13 includes 12 serotypes in PCV13, serotype 3 excluded.
Assumes direct effects for serotypes 3 and 6C.
PCV13(6Cf) includes 12 serotypes in PCV13, serotype 3 excluded
and 6C added. Assumes direct effects for serotypes 3.

Interpretation ------- Table 1 displays quantities when no vaccination is applied and Tables 2-3 display results for the default scenarios PCV10 and PCV13. The vaccines decrease QALYs and medical costs by approximately 20-25%. In comparison to these effets, the differences pertaining to pairwise comparisons of various versions of the vaccines (Tables 4-7) are small. Negative numbers in Tables 4-7 indicate situations favorable to PCV10.
(*)= In the calculations above, the original observed/predicted number of IPD cases
among under 3 year old children is multiplied 3.75. This adjustment was made to
better reflect the actual disease incidence
(reference: Palmu et al. (2014) Vaccine effectiveness of the pneumococcal..,
The Lancet Resp. Med.Vol2,9,p.717-)
(#)= costs and savings are given in 1000 euros
(##)= a vaccine with "only direct effects" for a particular serotype means that,
for vaccinated persons, vaccine efficacy against IPD caused by this serotype is 90% with
a waning rate of 10% per year. In practise this means that approximately 70% of the
serotype-specific IPD is eliminated among the <5 year olds. The implications of
this modification to the results pertaining to the population as a whole
are quite small and correspond closely to assuming no vaccine efficacy against
the serotype in question.
2. Acceptable price level under alternative scenarios for PCV13 when price of PCV10 set at 20 and 30
