Our paper optimal vaccination policy to prevent endemicity: a stochastic model, written with Félix Foutel-Rodier and Hélène Guérin was just published in the Journal of Mathematical Biology We examine here the effects of recurrent vaccination and waning immunity on the establishment of an endemic equilibrium in a population. An individual-based model that incorporates memory effects for transmission rate during infection and subsequent immunity, is introduced, considering stochasticity at the individual level. By letting the population size to go to infinity, we derive a set … <a …
