Popis: Aims: To evaluate pharmacoeconomics for the vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine and analyze the cost-effectiveness for the vaccine in Ukraine. Study design: we have analyzed using models for the economics of coronavirus vaccine. Place and duration of study: Sample: population of Ukraine, data used from the official website of Ministry of Health, Ukraine. April - May 2021 Methodology: We have used the transmission model to analyze the vaccine strategy. Data were collected from official sources. We structured an age group model for evaluating high transmitters. Four strategies were organized and analyzed for analyzing the cost-effective strategy vaccination for everyone, no vaccination, and vaccination for old age only, high transmitters’ vaccination. Results: we have analyzed country specific cost-effective strategy for Ukraine depends upon the pandemic and economics of the country. Vaccinating older people was found to be the economically effective for Ukraine. In these study influences of discount rate analysis on QALY in Ukraine was done. When we vaccinate, high transmitters’ ratio was found to be 8.8% higher than for the elderly. This analysis suggests that vaccinating first the elderly group would not be so cost-effective. While doubling the cost for the vaccine, if the vaccine is available early with the scenario of pre-existing immunity has shifted cost-effectiveness for high transmitters than for the elderly in Ukraine Conclusion: we conclude from our pharmacoeconomic research study that cost effective analysis depends on pandemic and vaccinating elderly would be effective economically.
