Co-evolution of Vaccination Behavior and Perceived Vaccination Risk can lead to a Stag-Hunt like Game [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Voluntary vaccination is effective to prevent infectious diseases from spreading. Both vaccination behavior and cognition of the vaccination risk play important roles in individual vaccination decision making. However, it is not clear how the co-evolution of the two shapes the population-wide vaccination behavior.

Accurate Measures of Vaccination and Concerns of Vaccine Holdouts from Web Search Logs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
To design effective vaccine policies, policymakers need detailed data about who has been vaccinated, who is holding out, and why. However, existing data in the US are insufficient: reported vaccination rates are often delayed or missing, and surveys of vaccine hesitancy are limited by high-level questions and self-report biases. Here, we show how large-

A space-time conditional intensity model for invasive meningococcal disease occurrence [PDF]

open access: yesBiometrics 68, 607--616, 2015
A novel point process model continuous in space-time is proposed for quantifying the transmission dynamics of the two most common meningococcal antigenic sequence types observed in Germany 2002-2008. Modelling is based on the conditional intensity function (CIF) which is described by a superposition of additive and multiplicative components.

VaccineLies: A Natural Language Resource for Learning to Recognize Misinformation about the COVID-19 and HPV Vaccines [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Billions of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered, but many remain hesitant. Misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccines and other vaccines, propagating on social media, is believed to drive hesitancy towards vaccination. The ability to automatically recognize misinformation targeting vaccines on Twitter depends on the availability of data resources.

The Impact of Vaccination Behavior on Disease Spreading Based on Complex Networks [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Vaccination is an effective way to prevent and control the occurrence and epidemic of infectious diseases. However, many factors influence whether the residents decide to get vaccinated or not, such as the efficacy and side effects while individuals hope to obtain immunity through vaccination.

COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy and Information Diffusion: An Agent-based Modeling Approach [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Despite the unprecedented success in the rapid development of several effective vaccines against the Cov-SARS-2, global vaccination rollout efforts suffer from vaccine distribution inequality and vaccine acceptance, leading to insufficient public immunity provided by the vaccine products.

The alternative fact of probable vaccine damage A typology of vaccination beliefs in 28 European countries [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Background: Despite lacking scientific support, vaccine hesitancy is widespread. While vaccine damage as a scientific fact is statistically highly uncommon, emerging social and technological forces have converted probable vaccine damage into an alternative fact.

Preferences for COVID-19 vaccine: Evidence from India [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
India's mass vaccination efforts have been slow due to high levels of vaccine hesitancy. This study uses data from an online discrete choice experiment with 1371 respondents to rigorously examine the factors shaping vaccine preference in the country. We find that vaccine efficacy, presence of side effects, protection duration, distance to vaccination ...

Understanding hesitancy with revealed preferences across COVID-19 vaccine types [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Many countries have secured larger quantities of COVID-19 vaccines than their populace is willing to take. This abundance and variety of vaccines created a historical moment to understand vaccine hesitancy better. Never before were more types of vaccines available for an illness and the intensity of vaccine-related public discourse is unprecedented ...

Analysis of COVID-19 in India using vaccine epidemic model incorporating vaccine effectiveness and herd immunity [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
COVID-19 will be a continuous threat to human population despite having a few vaccines at hand until we reach the endemic state through natural herd immunity and total immunization through universal vaccination. However, the vaccine acts as a practical tool for reducing the massive public health problem and the emerging economic consequences that the ...
