Anti vaxers will be feeling smug

What was the reason then

Cost-effectiveness assessment
A bespoke, non-standard method of cost-effectiveness assessment was developed to reflect the ongoing uncertainty around COVID-19. This cost-effectiveness assessment was one of the factors considered by JCVI in the formulation of its advice for spring 2024. Cost-effectiveness was considered by age group and clinical risk group.

Utilising a deployment cost of £25 per vaccine (as estimated by NHS England), the non-standard cost-effectiveness assessment for booster vaccination in spring 2024 indicated that, within the assumptions describing the most plausible projected scenario, vaccination was likely to be cost-effective when offered to the following groups:

all adults aged 90 years and over not in a clinical risk group
all adults aged 80 years and over in a clinical risk group
all adults aged 65 years and over with immunosuppression
Limitations of the existing cost-effectiveness assessment are recognised, including the ongoing high-level uncertainties with regards to COVID-19 epidemiology, the heterogeneity of risk seen in immunosuppressed people of all ages, and the high risk of exposure seen in care home settings which may not be fully captured within the existing assessment. It is also recognised that a high proportion of older adults are living with comorbidities and that vaccine uptake is higher in universal age-based programmes. Overall, JCVI considered it appropriate to offer a spring 2024 vaccine dose to a wider group of persons than identified solely in the cost-effectiveness assessment of the most plausible scenario.

Cost effectiveness.

It's amazing how many Antivaxers assume that the NHS doesn't actually check on outcomes or value for money, and depressing to see how few people even bother using Google.

In short it is worth vaccinating the higher risk groups at the moment but for the lower risk groups the money would be better spent elsewhere.

It is also interesting to see the cost to vaccinated is around £25 per person.

25 quid would love to see how that figure was arrived at
Cost of vaccine around 22 quid about 9 quid for chemist /doctors to administer then all the other people involved in the paperwork side

If you can't understand that then you aren't going to be able to assess if you should or shouldn't take the vaccine. It would be beyond you.

That is from the non political Joint Vaccines and Immunisation Committee. It does it's job quietly in the background and is staffed by very experienced, knowledgeable and qualified people.

it does not say it not safe

if you think otherwise please quote the text that you think says it is not safe

 

[Notch7]

nothing pedantry at all just pointing out your constant inability to tell the truth when you type absolute nonsense

its childish nonsense, as you well know



under 65s arent offered the covid vaccine -thats a fact

 

[denso13]

Ok got it

No, you obviously haven't. Vaccines save lives and protect against serious illness.

No ta

Don't have a booster then. What's the problem?

Have you had your last booster Denny ?

 

[denso13]

The original claim was that the vaccines stopped you getting Covid and you only needed two shots. This then changed to:
- it doesn't stop you getting Covid but stops you passing it on
- It doesn't stop you passing it on either
- You now need 3 shots
- You now need 4 shots
- You now need to continue having shots

Full of lies, you'll fit in well here.

 

[denso13]

Have you had your last booster Denny ?

Yep, all up to date thanks.

 

[Deleted member 221031]

Yep, all up to date thanks.

Is that 5 now ?

 

[denso13]

What are you trying to achieve.

Just calling out the lies and misinformation.

 

[denso13]

Is that 5 now ?

No, don't be silly.

 

[Deleted member 221031]

No, don't be silly.

2 initial ones, and there’s been 3 boosters I think.

4 then ?
