In this seminar, we will discuss our analyses of the cost effectiveness of response strategies for the 2009 (H1N1) pandemic and for influenza A (H5N1). We define vaccination percentages to shorten the pandemic and show that the benefits and costs of vaccination for pandemic (H1N1) depend critically on the timing of vaccination relative to the growth of the epidemic: earlier vaccination saves more lives and is cost saving. For A (H5N1), we demonstrate that stockpiling adjuvant for vaccination is effective and cost effective. Our analyses indicate that early and widespread vaccination for H1N1 is an urgent public health priority.
