Demonstration simulations for SARS-CoV-2 transmission. The model strcuture was used to examine the impact of Supplementary Immunization Activities (SIA)s for non Covid-19 diseases on SARS-CoV-2 tranmsssion.

Important features include:

  • Multi-node network used to represent an urban center with peri-urban and rural locations.

  • Population migration between the nodes.

  • Health care workers (HCW) and non-HWC moving between locations.

  • Personal protective equipment (PPE) for HWC.

  • Age-dependent susceptibility.

  • Self-isolation behavior.

  • Age-structured contact matricies.

  • Overdispersion of the infection rate.

This model does not include:

  • SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern.

  • Waning immunity, re-infection, or secondary vaccine failure.

  • Vital dynamics (births, deaths, or aging).
