Assessing the Impact of Vaccination on Rotavirus Transmission Dynamics Using Bayesian Inference
The introduction of the rotavirus vaccine in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2013 led to a noticeable decline in laboratory reports in subsequent years. To assess the impact of vaccination on rotavirus transmissibility we calibrated a stochastic compartmental epidemiological model using Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods. Our analysis focuses on estimating the time-varying transmissibility parameter and documenting its evolution before and after vaccine rollout. We observe distinct periods of increasing and decreasing transmissibility, reflecting the dynamic response of rotavirus spread to immunization efforts. These findings improve our understanding of vaccination-driven shifts in disease transmission and provide a quantitative framework for evaluating long-term epidemiological trends.

A behavioural modelling approach to assess the impact of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy
In this paper we introduce a compartmental epidemic model describing the transmission of the COVID-19 disease in presence of non-mandatory vaccination. The model takes into account the hesitancy and refusal of vaccinatio…
Projecting the Impact of Covid-19 Variants and Vaccination Strategies in Disease Transmission using a Multilayer Network Model in Costa Rica
For countries starting to receive steady supplies of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, the course of Covid-19 for the following months will be determined by the emergence of new variants and successful roll-out of vaccination…
ICU AdmissionSocial \textit{vs.} individual age-dependent costs of imperfect vaccination
In diseases with long-term immunity, vaccination is known to increase the average age at infection as a result of the decrease in the pathogen circulation. This implies that a vaccination campaign can have negative effec…
Impact of imperfect vaccine, vaccine trade-off and population turnover on infectious disease dynamics
Vaccination is essential for the management of infectious diseases, many of which continue to pose devastating public health and economic challenges across the world. However, many vaccines are imperfect having only a pa…
