Our Model
Outputs
Test different policies to
control the seasonal flu
Different policies are organized according to a five-pillar of vaccination policy, and each of the five pillars has different ingredients or policies. Policies affect parameter values - vaccine coverage rates - in a compartmental model, allowing decision-makers to assess the effect of such policies in outcomes akin to the number of infection cases, hospitalizations, deaths, general practitioners visits, or productivity lost.
