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

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