Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Health Technology Assessment (HTA) has an increasing role worldwide in the accessibility and use of vaccines. This Special Issue aims to bring together the views and interests of different stakeholders to enhance mutual understanding. The topics to be addressed include time-to-population access vaccine studies, cost-effectiveness analyses, real-world monitoring of vaccine performances, and guidelines for adequate vaccine HTA evaluations.
Specific aims include a better understanding of vaccine hesitancy, long periods of population access, roles of cost-effectiveness and budgets, views of patient groups, and the advantages of vaccines. Original research articles and reviews, within the journal’s scope, are welcome for submission, focusing on themes such as the value of vaccines, the time it takes for innovative vaccines to reach patients, cost-effectiveness assessments, real-world data analyses on vaccines' properties, and overcoming vaccine hesitancy to increase coverage.
We look forward to receiving valuable contributions.
