Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health
  • Network Science

Background:

  • Vaccine availability is limited, especially during novel outbreaks like COVID-19.
  • Prioritizing vaccination is crucial for maximizing public health impact with scarce resources.
  • Effective strategies are needed to mitigate disease spread when universal vaccination is not immediately feasible.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for prioritizing individuals for vaccination to maximize disease prevention.
  • To optimize vaccine allocation across populations and identify key individuals for targeted vaccination.
  • To reduce the overall infection rate and transmission pathways of infectious diseases like COVID-19.

Main Methods:

  • A two-step approach: vaccine allocation and targeted vaccination.
  • Vaccine allocation optimized by maximizing total population immunity.
  • Targeted vaccination uses graph theory and centrality metrics on contact tracing data from wireless networks.

Main Results:

  • A novel metric for selecting vaccination candidates based on centrality.
  • Simulations demonstrated a potential 30% reduction in infection rate compared to random vaccination.
  • The proposed method effectively identifies high-impact individuals for vaccination.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method provides an effective strategy for prioritizing vaccination during limited supply scenarios.
  • Targeted vaccination based on network analysis significantly enhances disease control efforts.
  • This approach offers a data-driven solution for optimizing public health interventions against infectious diseases.
