Role of word-of-mouth for programs of voluntary vaccination: A game-theoretic approach [PDF]
, 2015 We propose a model describing the synergetic feedback between word-of-mouth (WoM) and epidemic dynamics controlled by voluntary vaccination. We combine a game-theoretic model for the spread of WoM and a compartmental model describing $SIR$ disease ...
