Australian preferences for influenza vaccine attributes and cost: A discrete choice experiment.
Hum Vaccin Immunother
December 2025
People in Australia have access to different influenza vaccines, but may be unaware of their options and features. Preference studies for differentiated influenza vaccines including cell-based vaccines are limited, particularly in Australia. This study investigated which influenza vaccine attributes people in Australia value using a discrete choice experiment (DCE).

Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the potential impact of improved influenza vaccines on reducing illness and deaths in Australians under 65, estimating the additional morbidity and mortality that could be averted.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 2015-2019, calculating the burden of influenza in a hypothetical unvaccinated population and using this to project benefits from standard versus improved vaccines.
- - Findings suggest that an improved vaccine could prevent between 1,517 to 12,641 influenza cases, 287 to 1,311 hospitalizations, and 9 to 33 deaths annually, mainly when the standard vaccine is less effective.
