How can modelling inform vaccination strategy?
Summary
This animation explains the ways in which diseases spread in the population and how this is modelled for health economical decision making, such as cost effectiveness of a vaccination programme. The long and very formal title of the project carrying out this work is Mathematical & Economic Modelling for Vaccination and Immunisation Evaluation, or MEMVIE for short. MEMVIE is also a leader in public involvement work in mathematical and health economic modelling. This research is funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Policy Research Programme (NIHR204667,MEMVIE 3). The views expressed are those of the author(s) and not necessarily those of the NIHR or the Department of Health and Social Care.
