  1. After eliminating strategies that are dominated, incremental cost-effectiveness ratios are calculated for the remaining strategies and are expressed in I$2005 per YLS. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratios shown represent the mean costs divided by the mean effects of the good-fitting parameter sets.
  2. bCost per vaccinated girl includes three doses of vaccine, wastage, freight and supplies, administration, and immunisation support and programmatic costs.
  3. cdom: these strategies are either more costly and less effective, or less costly and less cost-effective, than alternative options, and are thus considered dominated.
  4. dCS: cost saving.
  5. HPV: human papillomavirus.
  6. VIA: visual inspection with acetic acid.
