Seven challenges in modeling vaccine preventable diseases

Seven challenges in modeling vaccine preventable diseases

Vaccination has been one of the most successful public health measures since the introduction of basic sanitation. Substantial mortality and morbidity reductions have been achieved via vaccination against many infections, and the list of diseases that are potentially controllable by vaccines is gro...
