Epidemiological and economic impact of pandemic influenza in Chicago: Priorities for vaccine interventions
Table 8
Risk of death, total deaths, net benefits and return on investment for different age and risk groups in the catastrophic, strong, and moderate influenza pandemic scenarios.
Risk of death is estimated based on the number of influenza related deaths per 100,000 subpopulation for the specific age and risk groups. Total deaths is estimated based on the proportion of influenza related deaths for the specific age and risk groups among total influenza related deaths. Net benefits are the difference in cost due to improved health outcomes from vaccination and the vaccination cost. Return on investment is the gain in net benefits relative to the vaccination cost, that is, dollars saved per $1 investment in vaccine intervention.
