... diseases in which vaccine efficacy is expected to be the same for all conditions, calculation of PROM simply entails multiplying the vaccine preventable illness values (one for each IME perspective) by the efficacy.
From page 85...
... Target Population Target populations for the vaccines are described in the relevant appendixes and briefly outlined in Table 7.1. The number of new potential vaccine recipients entering the target population each year must be determined to calculate the vaccine costs for each immunization program.
From page 86...
... Because of the trend in most developing countries toward greater relative numbers of individuals in the younger age groups, the major effect of adopting these assumptions would be to somewhat underestimate the benefits of vaccines reducing disease in these age groups, assuming incidence rates remain constant. Adverse Reactions Because no vaccine in this analysis is predicted to have serious side effects, the current calculations omit adverse reactions.

... The present values of health benefits and expected reduction in morbidity costs are calculated on the assumption that the benefits and reduced costs occur at the time of steady-state yield of vaccine benefits. Equations for deriving present values are given in Chapter 3.*

... Because of these judgments, the cost comparisons in this analysis are somewhat simplified, including only those expenditures on the candidate vaccines necessary to achieve the potential health benefits. Table 7.3 shows these expenditures: vaccine development costs and vaccine costs for the immunization programs.
