Enhanced vaccine control of epidemics in adaptive networks [PDF]

, 2009
We study vaccine control for disease spread on an adaptive network modeling disease avoidance behavior. Control is implemented by adding Poisson distributed vaccination of susceptibles. We show that vaccine control is much more effective in adaptive networks than in static networks due to an interaction between the adaptive network rewiring and the ...

Semiparametric logistic regression for inference on relative vaccine efficacy in case-only studies with informative missingness [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
We develop semiparametric methods for estimating subgroup-specific relative vaccine efficacy against multiple viral strains in a partially vaccinated population. Focusing on observational case-only studies, we address informative missingness in strain type due to vaccination status, pre-vaccination characteristics, and post-infection factors such as ...
