Objectives: Once symptoms appear, rabies is almost always fatal and accounts for 200-300 deaths annually in the Philippines. Available rabies vaccines can be administered either in pre- exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) or post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). After exposure, PrEP-immunized individuals require fewer doses of PEP and no rabies immunoglobulin. Methods: A static decision-tree model was developed to assess cost-effectiveness of a PrEP+PEP program vs PEP alone. Philippines-specific data for people seeking medical advice at the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine between July 2015 and June 2016 were used in the model, together with data from published literature. Results: Over a 20-year period, in a cohort of 1 million 5-year-old children in the Philippines, PrEP+PEP was expected to prevent 297 deaths compared with PEP alone. From both payer and societal perspectives, the resulting incremental cost-effectiveness ratios were 36 035 (US$759; 2016 US$ conversion) and 18 663 (US$393) Philippine Pesos (PHP) - quality-adjusted life-years gained - respectively, which are both below the willingness-to-pay threshold of PHP140 255 (US$2 953). Conclusion: These data suggest that a universal PrEP program targeting 5-year-olds would be costeffective in the Philippines. (C) 2020 GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals S.A.
