Economic impact of a vaccine preventable disease: a scoping review on tuberculosis
Using pulmonary tuberculosis (pTB) as an example of a vaccine-preventable disease (VPD), we aimed to gather evidence on the economic impact of treating a case or managing an outbreak of a VPD. A scoping review was con-ducted. Online databases (MEDLINE and Google Scholar) were used to collate publish...
