In Veneto region 72,8% of women (aged 25-64) are screened regularly, meaning every 3 years. Considering regional tariffs and vaccine acquisition cost, the vaccination of 12-year-old girls with a 90% coverage could prevent 72 cases of cervicocarcinoma and 31 related deaths and thus results to be cost-effective (29.052 €/QALY). When the vaccination programme is extended to 16-year-old girls a further 67 cancer cases and 28 deaths could be prevented, with a very similar cost-effectiveness ratio. In Veneto region, the net cost for woman vaccinated is 184 € for the single cohort and 188 € for the multiple cohort
