Background: To update a cost-effectiveness analysis of rotavirus vaccination in the Netherlands previously published in 2011.
Methods: The rotavirus burden of disease and the indirect protection of older children and young adults (herd protection) were updated.
Results: When updated data was used, routine infant rotavirus vaccination in the Netherlands would potentially become an even more cost-effective strategy than previously estimated with the incremental cost per QALY at only (sic)3,000-4,000. Break-even total vaccination costs were indicated at (sic)92-122, depending on the applied threshold.
Conclusions: We concluded that the results on potentially favourable cost-effectiveness in the previous study remained valid, however, the new data suggested that previous results might represent an underestimation of the economic attractiveness of rotavirus vaccination.
