Question

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) evaluates the marginal cost effectiveness of vaccinating all people against certain diseases. If the marginal benefit is set at $5,000, which generalization explains why the CDC does not mandate vaccination of 100% of the people?

A) At low vaccination coverage rates (0-70%), the marginal cost is greater.

B) At high vaccination coverage rates (70-100%), the marginal cost is less.

C) At 100% vaccination coverage, the cost per case prevented is less than the marginal benefit.

D) At 100% vaccination coverage, the cost per case prevented is greater than the marginal benefit.

Answer 1

Based on CDC or the Center for Disease Control which assesses the effectiveness of giving vaccination to all people against certain diseases, if the marginal benefit is set at $5,000, this would mean that at 100% coverage so that all people can benefit from it, this would result that the marginal benefit would be lesser than the cost per case.
