Vaccination models

Vaccination models are mathematical or computer simulations that predict how diseases spread within a population and how different vaccination strategies can control or prevent outbreaks. They consider factors like transmission rates, vaccine coverage, and immunity duration to assess potential outcomes. These models help public health officials understand the impact of vaccination programs, optimize resource allocation, and develop effective policies. Essentially, they serve as predictive tools to evaluate the best ways to protect communities from infectious diseases without needing real-world trials for every scenario.
