By: H. Yarmand n & J. Ivy n

TL;DR: This research considers an affected household and model the effect of different intervention policies, which involve vaccination, antiviral prophylaxis, isolation, and treatment, on disease spread using a variation of Kermack–McKendrick (KM) models. (via Semantic Scholar)

Identifying optimal mitigation strategies for responding to a mild influenza epidemic

SIMULATION-TRANSACTIONS OF THE SOCIETY FOR MODELING AND SIMULATION INTERNATIONAL, 89(11), 1400–1415.

author keywords: Simulation; mild epidemic; optimal control policy; cost-effectiveness analysis; vaccination; self-isolation
TL;DR: A continuous-time simulation model for the spread of a mild influenza epidemic based on the SEIR model, which shows that for low (high) levels of intervention, vaccination is incrementally more cost-effective than self-isolation, and public health officials should concentrate on vaccination at the beginning of the epidemic.
