Compartmental mixing models for vaccination-status-based segregation regarding viral respiratory diseases

Update 2023-12-14: Now published in the peer-reviewed journal Cureus

CORRELATION authors Joseph Hickey and Denis Rancourt have posted a new pre-print to medRxiv.

Hickey and Rancourt use a simple epidemic model to explore how segregation based on vaccination status (e.g. using “vaccine passports”) affects outcomes such as the number of people infected in the epidemic. They show that the epidemiological outcomes depend strongly on how the segregation is implemented, something that past authors did not consider.
