Abstract

Given the negligence that was committed in Spain by not facing the epidemic of poliomyelitis, this systematic review has as an objective: to carry out a systematic review of the literature about the effect of the polio vaccine and show its efficiency in terms of incidence, mortality, and economic impact. A systematic review was carried out following the PRISMA methodology. The bibliographic search was carried out in Medline (Pubmed) with the following terms: “polio cost-effectiveness” (MESH) and “polio economics” (MESH). 7 economic evaluations were included. Scientific evidence reveals that the polio vaccination program represents a very valuable public health program that contributes to saving health costs and, therefore, provides an economic benefit to society.
