A general framework for optimising cost-effectiveness of pandemic response under partial intervention measures [PDF]
Scientific Reports 12, 19482 (2022), 2022 The COVID-19 pandemic created enormous public health and socioeconomic challenges. The health effects of vaccination and non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) were often contrasted with significant social and economic costs. We describe a general framework aimed to derive adaptive cost-effective interventions, adequate for both recent and emerging ...
