abstract

Introduction

The new coronavirus pandemic has appreciably impacted morbidity and mortality, as well as having an economic impact worldwide. New vaccines are a potential way forward to reduce transmission rates and subsequent infection. In Brazil, vaccines are being distributed via the public sector; however, in the future, they will be available in the private market. Information about consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for a hypothetical vaccine against SARS CoV-2 can help future price setting discussions.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted with consumers in the five regions of Brazil regarding the WTP for a hypothetical vaccine against SARS CoV-2 with a 50% efficacy.

Results

A total of 1402 individuals over 18 years of age who declared not having COVID-19 at the time of the survey were interviewed. The acceptability for this hypothetical vaccine was 80.7%. In addition, the amount of WTP by Brazilian consumers for a hypothetical SARS CoV-2 vaccine was estimated at US$ 22.18(120.00 BRL).

Conclusion

This study can contribute to decision-making to inform potential pricing for a hypothetical SARS CoV-2 vaccine.

巴西消费者对假设的 SARS CoV-2 疫苗的可接受性和支付意愿：一项横断面研究及其影响

摘要

介绍

新的冠状病毒大流行已显着影响发病率和死亡率，并在全球范围内产生经济影响。新疫苗是降低传播率和随后感染的潜在途径。在巴西，疫苗通过公共部门分发；但是，将来它们将在私人市场上出售。有关消费者对假设的 SARS CoV-2 疫苗的支付意愿 (WTP) 的信息可以帮助未来的定价讨论。

方法

对巴西五个地区的消费者进行了一项横断面研究，研究了针对 SARS CoV-2 的假设疫苗的 WTP，其有效性为 50%。

结果

共有 1402 名 18 岁以上在调查时宣布没有 COVID-19 的人接受了采访。这种假设疫苗的可接受性为 80.7%。此外，巴西消费者为假设的 SARS CoV-2 疫苗支付的 WTP 金额估计为 22.18 美元（120.00 巴西雷亚尔）。

结论

这项研究有助于决策，为假设的 SARS CoV-2 疫苗的潜在定价提供信息。
