In low- and middle-income countries, information on the cost-effectiveness of PCV13 is limited. A recent study has evaluated the cost-effectiveness of implementation of a PCV13 vaccination programme at the national level. The cost per DALY averted by the use of PCV13 was found to be $2323 (INR 1,57,520), which is cost-effective in India. The ICER for PCV was found to be $649 (INR 44,008) with 95% CI, $374-$1161. This study confirmed that the PCV programme is a highly cost-effective intervention for reducing morbidity and mortality in children under 5 in India. However, studies are required in the Indian setting to estimate the cost-effectiveness of PCV13 in the adult population of India.1
