Table 5 Cost –effectiveness of a national HIV vaccination program at varied vaccine prices, 2012. The programmatic cost implications of varying the vaccine cost per dose were examined. The cost values reflect annual expenditure. At baseline (shaded), a vaccine at the cost of US$ 12 per dose would result in an annual cost of approximately US$ 1017 million. This represents a US$ 9 increase from the base cost per capita (Table 4). All other values have been calculated relative to the base vaccination strategy
