Given limited supply of approved vaccines and constrained medical resources, design of a vaccination strategy to control a pandemic is an economic problem. We use time-series and panel methods with real-world country-level data to estimate…
Since the recent introduction of several viable vaccines for SARS-CoV-2, vaccination uptake has become the key factor that will determine our success in containing the COVID-19 pandemic. We argue that game theory and social network models…
The COVID-19 pandemic requires a fast response from researchers to help address biological, medical and public health issues to minimize its impact. In this rapidly evolving context, scholars, professionals and the public may need to…
Societies worldwide have witnessed growing rifts separating advocates and opponents of vaccinations and other COVID-19 countermeasures. With the rollout of vaccination campaigns, German-speaking regions exhibited much lower vaccination…
The changing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of comprehensively considering its impacts and considering changes over time. Most COVID-19 related research addresses narrowly focused research questions and is…
Sharing of anti-vaccine posts on social media, including misinformation posts, has been shown to create confusion and reduce the publics confidence in vaccines, leading to vaccine hesitancy and resistance. Recent years have witnessed the…
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected the world in terms of health, economy and peace. Fortunately, the countries are trying to overcome the situation by actively carrying out vaccinations. However, like any other massive operation…
