A Two-Dose Vaccine Epidemic Model with Power Incidence Rate

Populations and Evolution 2019-05-06 v1 Physics and Society

Abstract

The dynamics of a SIVR model with power relationship incidence rates (βIpSq)(\beta I^p S^q) is investigated. It is assumed an individual can be susceptible after receiving the first dose of the vaccine, hence a second dose is required to attain permanent immunity. The steady states conditions of the disease-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium are critically presented. Numerical simulations are carried out to determine the impact of the exponential parameters (p;q)(p;q) on infection.
