Abstract:Effective strategies of vaccine prioritization are essential to mitigate the impacts of severe infectious diseases. We investigate the role of infection fatality ratio (IFR) and social contact matrices on vaccination prioritization using a compartmental epidemic model fueled by real-world data of different diseases (COVID-19 and influenza) and countries (Brazil, Germany, and Uganda). Our study confirms that massive and early vaccination is extremely effective to reduce the disease fatality if the contagion is … Show more
