Abstract

Abstract Children are particularly affected by infectious diseases. Little is known about economic consequences for society. Conducting a cost estimate reveals that over three billion euros are spent annually because of infectious diseases of kindergarten children in Germany. Additionally, intangible costs occur. This underscores the urgent need to develop health policies to reduce children’s risk of infections.
