Vaccination
The existence of COVID-19 vaccines highlights the importance of research on vaccination distribution strategies. CANMOD vaccination research will focus on (i) pandemic endgames, (ii) optimal deployment, (iii) behavioural dynamics and (iv) evaluation of vaccine programs.
- Although COVID-19 is our current priority, vaccination programs, their evaluation and their relationship to population behaviour are important for polio, measles, mumps, rubella, pertussis and other infections. Robust collaborations with public health institutions, and increased capacity in this area, will have a range of applications beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
