A hospital administration is considering implementing a new influenza vaccination program for all healthcare workers. To evaluate whether the benefits (e.g., reduced absenteeism, fewer patient infections) justify the costs (e.g., vaccine purchase, administration time), which type of economic evaluation is most appropriate?
✓ Correct Answer: Option B
Cost-effectiveness analysis compares interventions by measuring costs in monetary units and outcomes in natural units (e.g., cases prevented, life-years gained). This is suitable for comparing programs with a common health outcome.
