Description

We have developed and age and immunity-structured model of COVID-19 infections and interventions. We have employed this model to assess the effectiveness of vaccination and various non-pharmaceutical interventions (school closure, work-from-home, closing of public places) in reducing COVID-19 spread and the healthcare demand. In this presentation, we will share our results for Canada (Ontario), USA (Utah, Washington, New York), Sweden, Hungary, and Italy.
