Campania

Abstract

In Campania region 41,8% of women (aged 25-64) are screened regularly, meaning every 3 years. Considering regional tariffs and vaccine acquisition cost, the vaccination of 12-year-old girls with a 90% coverage could prevent 208 cases of cervicocarcinoma and 84 related deaths and thus results to be cost-effective (16.130 €/QALY). When the vaccination programme is extended to 16-year-old girls a further 217 cancer cases and 89 deaths could be prevented, with a very similar cost-effectiveness ratio. In Campania region, the net cost for woman vaccinated is 182 € for the single cohort and 186 € for the multiple cohort.
