Definitive or not, Dr. Friedlander's wartime work provides the scientific underpinning for the government's announcement today that it is creating the first stockpile of anthrax vaccine for civilian use.
If vaccination costs are reduced to seasonal vaccination levels of about USD$6.6, vaccination within the first stockpile cycle is almost always cost-effective.
For vaccination within the first stockpile cycle, the assumed cost of vaccine of USD$46.4 is less than the maximum insurance premium when the attack rate is >38% at vaccine effectiveness of 40%; >25% at vaccine effectiveness of 60%; and >18% at vaccine effectiveness of 80%, suggesting that vaccination within the first stockpile cycle is cost-beneficial under these conditions.
The differences in the outcomes where vaccination is deployed in the first stockpile cycle (immediate vaccination) versus some time during subsequent stockpile cycles will also have to be considered.
If the vaccine was to be used for an impending pandemic (within the first stockpile), the outcomes for a vaccine cost of USD$46.4, based on different levels of vaccine efficacy and cross-reactivity, are shown in Table 2.
It may seem more cost-beneficial when vaccines can be used within the first stockpile (purchasing vaccines for vaccination only when a pandemic is impending) which will also ensure the best strain match.
