Database for Cost of Preparation and Delivery of Td Vaccine to 7-Year-Old Children in Vietnam

The Immunization Costing Action Network (ICAN) was a three-year project, supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and facilitated by ThinkWell and JSI, which included the implementation of costing studies in Indonesia, Tanzania, and Vietnam. This dataset original data collected during the Vietnam country study as well as the analysis undertaken on those data. The study, undertaken between 2017 and 2019 by team of researchers from the Hanoi School of Public Health (HUPH), in close collaboration with the Ministry of Health National Expanded Programme on Immunization (NEPI), estimates the delivery costs of introducing Td vaccination of 7-year-old children in Vietnam, and ceasing the current delivery of TT vaccine to women of childbearing age and the delivery of Td vaccine for outbreak control. The study's main research question were: "What are the total costs, incremental costs and unit costs of Td vaccination provided to 7-year-old children in Vietnam, which includes a program of introduction of Td for 7-year-olds and future cessation of TT vaccination of women of childbearing age (CBAW)? Would the introduction of Td and cessation of TT be cost saving (i.e., have a lower impact on the immunization budget)?" The study collected both economic and fiscal costs.
