  1. Where cost uncertainty was propagated, costs are shown as median and 95% credible intervals. Costs for treatment of severe and clinical cases were correlated. RTS,S fixed and variable costs were correlated. Treatment distribution and the number of nets distributed increase non-linearly with respect to coverage
