Abstract
⺠The cost-effectiveness of novel rotavirus vaccines is uncertain in the Canadian context. ⺠An economic analysis was performed for rotavirus vaccine preparations in Canada. ⺠A monovalent vaccine (Rotarix) was highly cost-effective. ⺠A pentavalent vaccine (RotaTeq) was less effective and cost more, and was “dominated”. ⺠Findings remained robust in the face of wide-ranging sensitivity and uncertainty analyses.
