Abstract
The aim of this work is to investigate the optimal vaccine sharing between two susceptible, infected, removed (SIR) centres in the presence of migration fluxes of susceptibles and infected individuals during the mumps outbreak. Optimality of the vaccine allocation means the minimization of the total number of lost working days during the whole period of epidemic outbreak $[0,t_f]$, which can be described by the functional $Q=\int _0^{t_f}I(t)\,{\textrm{d}}t$, where $I(t)$ stands for the number of infectives at time $t$. We explain the behaviour of the optimal allocation, which depends on the model parameters and the amount of vaccine available $V$.
期刊介绍:
Formerly the IMA Journal of Mathematics Applied in Medicine and Biology.
Mathematical Medicine and Biology publishes original articles with a significant mathematical content addressing topics in medicine and biology. Papers exploiting modern developments in applied mathematics are particularly welcome. The biomedical relevance of mathematical models should be demonstrated clearly and validation by comparison against experiment is strongly encouraged.
The journal welcomes contributions relevant to any area of the life sciences including:
-biomechanics-
biophysics-
cell biology-
developmental biology-
ecology and the environment-
epidemiology-
immunology-
infectious diseases-
neuroscience-
pharmacology-
physiology-
population biology
