Overview
PCV13 and PPSV23 are the two vaccines used today as preventative measures to target and prevent nonbacterial and bacterial pneumococcal pneumonia. These drugs interact and target the disease differently and thus the cost-effectiveness of routine vaccination at certain ages, for individuals at different risk levels, and in different sequences must be examined. A number of studies have been conducted to research how these vaccines affect patient health while considering their cost in order to compute the price per quality adjusted life year (QALY). Both PCV13 and PPSV23 were found to be cost-effective vaccines to protect against pneumococcal disease.
Cost effectiveness of therapy
Following its FDA approval in late 2011 and successful clinical trials [1][2], PCV13 became the recommended treatment regimen for bacterial penumococcus. PCV13 protects against 13 serotypes of pneumococcal disease reducing the number of cases of bacterial pneumococcus as well as associated medical treatment costs [3] and deaths. PCV13 was found to be effective in preventing vaccine-type pneumococcal disease and vaccine-type nonbacterial, bacterial, and pneumococcal pneumonia, though it was not an effective vaccine for preventing any cause community-acquired pneumonia [1]. Due to its direct and indirect effects, PCV13 is a cost-effective vaccine for pneumococcal disease [4][3][5] and could potentially be a cost-effective candidate for a national immunization program [6]. Studies have found that routine PCV13 vaccination costs between $18500-$28900 per QALY [7][2][8][9]. A vaccination regimen of PCV13 supplemented by the addition of PPSV23 at age 65 increases the cost per QALY to the range of $23400-$30400, though this still falls within the threshold of cost-effective preventative treatment options [8][7] . PCV13 is an especially cost-effective candidate for bacterial pneumococcus prevention when compared to no vaccination in regions where the additional serotypes targeted by PCV13 are prevalent [10].
The other vaccine recommended by the CDC for prevention of pneumococcus is the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine, PPSV23. Because it targets even more serotypes than PCV13, PPSV23 is more effective at preventing bacterial pneumococcus. Thus, herd immunity may increase even more with mass vaccination with PPSV23 compared to PCV13 simply because of the inclusion of additional serotypes [5]. However, PPSV23 has no clear effect on nonbacterial pneumococcus, which is a more common form of pneumococcal disease. For this reason, it is a slightly less cost-effective candidate for mass vaccination, with $34600 per QALY for PPSV23 compared to $28900 per QALY for PCV13 [2][5]. At this QALY level, however, PPSV23 is still considered to be a cost-effective vaccination option for prevention of pneumococcal disease.
PCV13 and PPSV23 are both thought to be cost-effective pneumococcal vaccines, though they both protect against pneumococcal disease differently.
