Near-term implementable finding

Cost-effectiveness of human papillomavirus vaccination in Jordan: A modelling study

Single-dose HPV vaccination could prevent thousands of cervical cancers in Jordan over ten years, likely saving money while saving lives.

This modeling study demonstrates that a decade of single-dose HPV vaccination in Jordan could prevent over 2200 cervical cancer cases and 1200 deaths, with Cecolin being highly likely cost-saving (97%) and Cervarix achieving greater impact at cost-effective margins. The findings directly inform Jordanian national immunization policy and provide a replicable model for MENA-region cervical cancer prevention.
