achieved for girls would cost $117,500 per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained. This is clearly not cost-effective when using a typical threshold of the GDP-per-capita of New Zealand to gain an extra year of healthy life, which is around $45,000, Wilson says. If New Zealand invested in vaccinating boys, there would be the likely opportunity cost of not funding interventions that achieve more health gain or, more bluntly, not getting the biggest bang for our buck elsewhere in the health sector.
