Costs of typhoid vaccination for international travelers from the United States.

A preprint abstract from medrxiv.org provides information on the costs of typhoid vaccination for international travelers from the United States. The study used data from the MarketScan Commercial Database and estimated costs for injectable and oral typhoid vaccines in different provider settings. The average cost for injectable vaccination was $132.91 per person, with clinic costs slightly higher than pharmacy costs. Oral vaccination costs averaged $81.23 per person. Out-of-pocket costs accounted for a significant portion of the total costs for both types of vaccination. These findings may be useful for healthcare professionals in making decisions to protect the health of international travelers. Please note that this preprint has not undergone peer review.
