Social Imitation Dynamics of Vaccination Driven by Vaccine Effectiveness and Beliefs [PDF]

arXiv
Declines in vaccination coverage for vaccine-preventable diseases, such as measles and chickenpox, have enabled their surprising comebacks and pose significant public health challenges in the wake of growing vaccine hesitancy. Vaccine opt-outs and refusals are often fueled by beliefs concerning perceptions of vaccine effectiveness and exaggerated risks.

Vaccination dynamics of age-structured populations in higher-order social networks [PDF]

arXiv
Voluntary vaccination is essential to protect oneself from infection and suppress the spread of infectious diseases. Voluntary vaccination behavior is influenced by factors such as age and interaction patterns. Differences in health consciousness and risk perception based on age result in heterogeneity in vaccination behavior among different age groups.

The Vaccination Game on Networks [PDF]

arXiv
Vaccinations are an important tool in the prevention of disease. Vaccinations are generally voluntary for each member of a population and vaccination decisions are influenced by individual risk perceptions and contact structures within populations. In this study, we model vaccination uptake as an evolutionary game where individuals weigh perceived ...

International genomic definition of pneumococcal lineages, to contextualise disease, antibiotic resistance and vaccine impactResearch in context

EBioMedicine, 2019
Background: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines have reduced the incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease, caused by vaccine serotypes, but non-vaccine-serotypes remain a concern.

Heterogeneous population and its resilience to misinformation in vaccination uptake: A dual ODE and network approach [PDF]

arXiv
Misinformation about vaccination poses a significant public health threat by reducing vaccination rates and increasing disease burden. Understanding population heterogeneity can aid in recognizing and mitigating the effects of such misinformation, especially when vaccine effectiveness is low.

Immunogenicity and seroefficacy of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Health Technology Assessment
Background Vaccination of infants with pneumococcal conjugate vaccines is recommended by the World Health Organization. Evidence is mixed regarding the differences in immunogenicity and efficacy of the different pneumococcal vaccines.
