    Snippet: The total cost of V and H enters the budget function linearly. One may suspect that the cost of V could be convex in function of the coverage rate, i.e., a higher coverage is more difficult and costly to achieve. However, evidence from the Belgium data showed that a high rotavirus vaccine coverage ([85%) is reached in the first years of vaccine introduction [11] . The cost of V is therefore considered linear in the budget function. The cost of ad.....
    Document: The total cost of V and H enters the budget function linearly. One may suspect that the cost of V could be convex in function of the coverage rate, i.e., a higher coverage is more difficult and costly to achieve. However, evidence from the Belgium data showed that a high rotavirus vaccine coverage ([85%) is reached in the first years of vaccine introduction [11] . The cost of V is therefore considered linear in the budget function. The cost of adding more beds is also linear in the percentage of extra beds considered, including medical staff and building costs [20] .
