Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "IEEE Access"
DOI: 10.1109/access.2023.3258378
Abstract: Vaccines need to be urgently allocated in pandemics like the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In the literature, vaccines are optimally allocated using various mathematical models, including the extensively used Susceptible-Infected-Recovered epidemic model. However, these models do… read more here.
