Chagas disease is a serious public health problem, endemic in 21 countries in Latin America. A future vaccine can contribute to decreasing the number of cases and its complications. A cross-sectional study was conducted with residents of the northern region of Brazil, on the willingness to pay for a hypothetical vaccine against Chagas disease (effective protection of 80%). We interviewed 619 individuals and seven were excluded from the analysis and the value of willingness to pay was US$23.77 (100.00 BRL). The Northern region of Brazil is one of the largest markets for this vaccine, due to its epidemiological relevance, so economic studies with this vaccine will be important to assist in the assessment of technologies.
恰加斯病是拉丁美洲 21 个国家的一个严重的公共卫生问题。未来的疫苗可以有助于减少病例数量及其并发症。本研究采用横断面设计,对巴西北部地区的居民对一种假设的恰加斯病疫苗(有效保护率 80%)的支付意愿进行了调查。共调查了 619 人,其中 7 人被排除在分析之外,支付意愿的价值为 23.77 美元(100.00 雷亚尔)。巴西北部地区是该疫苗的最大市场之一,这主要是由于其流行病学意义,因此,对该疫苗进行经济研究对于技术评估将很重要。
