Should I get a COVID-19 booster?
On 12 September, a vaccine advisory group to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) once again will wrestle with the question of who in the United States should receive a booster shot to protect against COVID-19.
As several new variants and an uptick in COVID-19 hospitalization fuel concerns among some health officials and the public, three companies have made new COVID-19 vaccines that can be used as a booster (or as primary doses for the unvaccinated). The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is expected to approve at least one of these latest iterations before Tuesday’s meeting of CDC’s Advisory Com...

Optimal age-specific vaccination control for COVID-19: An Irish case study
by Eleni Zavrakli, Andrew Parnell, David Malone, Ken Duffy, Subhrakanti Dey
The outbreak of a novel coronavirus causing severe acute respiratory syndrome in December 2019 has escalated into a worldwide pandemic. In this work, we propose a compartmental model to describe the dynamics of transmission of infection and use it to obtain the optimal vaccination control. The mod el accounts for the various stages of the vaccination, and the optimisation is focused on minimising the infections to protect the population and relieve the healthcare system. As a case study, we selected the Republic of Ireland. We use data provided by...

A deep-SIQRV epidemic model for COVID-19 to access the impact of prevention and control measures
This article proposes an artificial intelligence(AI) based intelligent prediction model called Deep-SIQRV(Susceptible-Infected-Quarantined-Recovered-Vaccinated) to simulate the spreading of COVID-19. While many models assume that vaccination provides lifetime protection, we focus on the impact of waning immunity caused by the conversion of vaccinated individuals back to susceptible ones. Unlike existing models, which assume that all coronavirus-infected individuals have the same infection rate, the proposed model considers the various infection rates to analyze transmission laws and trends. Next, we consider the influence ...
