Mathematical modeling of delayed pertussis vaccination in infants

Highlights • An age structured deterministic mathematical model was developed. • The age at which individuals receive each vaccine dose is considered in the model. • The impact of delays in vaccination on pertussis incidence in infants was evaluated. • Data gathered from vaccination centers in urban...

Description
Summary:Highlights • An age structured deterministic mathematical model was developed. • The age at which individuals receive each vaccine dose is considered in the model. • The impact of delays in vaccination on pertussis incidence in infants was evaluated. • Data gathered from vaccination centers in urban and suburban areas were included. • We predict that the delays in vaccination have high impact on pertussis incidence.
