Worst-optimal difference for 75% vaccination and low time delay, expressed relative to the optimal mean final size. Chantal Nguyen Jean M. Carlson 10.1371/journal.pone.0152950.g009 https://plos.figshare.com/articles/figure/Worst_optimal_difference_for_75_vaccination_and_low_time_delay_expressed_relative_to_the_optimal_mean_final_size_/3155356 <p>The difference in stochastic mean final epidemic size 〈<i>E</i>〉 between worst-case and optimal protocols, expressed as the fraction of the optimal 〈<i>E</i>〉, is plotted as a function of time delay <i>τ</i> ≤ 20 days and coupling <i>f</i><sub>AB</sub> for the case of 75% vaccination, since the most significant worst-optimal differences occur for large amounts of vaccination. The remaining parameters are the same as in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0152950#pone.0152950.g007" target="_blank">Fig 7</a>.</p> 2016-04-04 12:46:56 time delay vaccination protocols Stochastic SIR Model Real-time vaccination probability distribution tradeoffs mandate investigation vaccine deployment master equation Limited vaccine prioritizing allocation time delays Optimizing Real-Time Vaccine Allocation disease dynamics epidemic size interaction logistics result SIR model
