Willingness to pay for a dengue vaccine in Iran: Insights from a contingent valuation study
Higher risk perception, greater socioeconomic status, higher level of educational, and older age were identified as significant determinants of WTP for the DV. Subsidizing the vaccine for lower-income groups and raising awareness about dengue infection risk, particularly among individuals with lower educational levels, may enhance vaccine uptake and contribute to more effective dengue prevention efforts in Iran.
