An agent-based model of dengue virus transmission shows how uncertainty about breakthrough infections influences vaccination impact projections.

An agent-based model of dengue virus transmission shows how uncertainty about breakthrough infections influences vaccination impact projections.

Prophylactic vaccination is a powerful tool for reducing the burden of infectious diseases, due to a combination of direct protection of vaccinees and indirect protection of others via herd immunity. Computational models play an important role in devising strategies for vaccination by making project...
