The adverse effects of large-scale vaccination on highly transmissible epidemics
In this paper, we consider highly transmissible epidemics that incorporate a finite immunity period. Under the conditions where: (i) vaccines are partially effective, and (ii) hospital resources are limited, we find that large-scale vaccination may, however, lead to more cumulative infections as compared to small-scale vaccination. We demonstrate that the non-Markovian feature of the epidemic model plays an important role of this counterintuitive phenomenon, and we develop an approach to predict the thresholds of the epidemic process using a set of recurrent equations. Our findings may provide useful insights for administrative measures when encountering highly transmissible epidemics.

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications
Recognized by the European Physical Society
Physica A publishes research in the field of statistical mechanics and its applications.
Statistical mechanics sets out to explain the behaviour of macroscopic systems by studying the statistical properties of their microscopic constituents.
Applications of the techniques of statistical mechanics are widespread, and include: applications to physical systems such as solids, liquids and gases; applications to chemical and biological systems (colloids, interfaces, complex fluids, polymers and biopolymers, cell physics); and other interdisciplinary applications to for instance biological, economical and sociological systems.
