  1. All cost estimates were expressed in 2015 dollar value
  2. Cost components (A, B, C, D) are defined in Table 2
  3. a Probabilistic model used the distributions of model parameters defined in Table 2 to perform Monte Carlo simulations to provide the mean and 95% probabilistic confidence interval (PCI) of estimates
  4. b SLIV: School-located influenza vaccination
  5. c “Anywhere” includes both vaccinations administered at the SLIV program and those in “practices.” “Practice” indicates the vaccinations’ administration setting other than SLIV clinics, almost always (> 95%) primary care practices [16]
