This is a systematic review of the costs and cost-effectiveness of using community health workers in vaccination programmes. The review only identified three studies that met their inclusion criteria. Methodologically, the studies were strong but did not adequately address affordability and sustainability and were also highly heterogeneous in terms of settings and CHW outcomes, limiting their comparability.This review highlights the lack of evidence regarding cost and cost-effectiveness, and points to areas where more research is greatly needed.
