Influenza Vaccination Strategies when supply is limited Romarie “Romie” Morales Rosado
2
Questions What is the impact of having access only to a limited number of dosages? What is the impact of delays in accessing the available vaccine supply? What is the role of a large percentage of H1N1 asymptomatic infectious individuals?
3
Type A and its subtypes Subdivided (H1-H16), (N1-N9)

Impact Pandemic Influenza Source:http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:H1N1_map_by_confirmed_cases.svg WHO declared a pandemic in June 2009, a total of 74 countries and territories had reported laboratory confirmed infections. To date, most countries in the world have confirmed infections from the new virus.

Pandemic 2009 vs. Pandemic 1918-19 Some similarities… Virus began to appear in the spring. Came out of nowhere…! Primarily attack young adults Elderly were partially immune to 2009 disease Source:http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2010/03/swine-flu-pandemic-reincarnates-.html?rss=1, http://ent.about.com/od/entdisordersgi/a/H1N1pandemic.htm

Importance of Vaccination? Problem: Not enough vaccines for everyone Time constraint from identifying virus to creating and approving vaccine Rich-Poor country Division

24
Recap on Results Best to apply vaccines at the beginning of the transmission When transmission is weak a low vaccination policy is effective.

Initial conditions with Delay when R 0 = 1.3 R0=1.3 Delay =10 days Delay = 20 days Delay = 30 days S172810168750160820 V000 F000 P000 E4479491786 I2555451044 J109235456 R1387450610851 D72457 IC1758531112408 C000

Delay R 0 = 1.3
27
Initial conditions with Delay when R 0 =2 R0=2 Run= 10 days Run= 20 days Run=30 days S16780011931052110 V000 F000 P000 E2329133868916 I114373796517 J43430393313 R329131739103600 D16161551 IC488542318113980 C000
28
Delay R 0 = 2
29
Results Maximum Vaccination rate should be applied in a timely manner!!! No significant difference between unconstrained and constrained cases when R 0 is low (1.3) Increase in vaccine efficacy and upper bound of control results in a decrease in the amount of vaccines that must be administered Delay has impact on vaccine efficacy.

Future Work Include asymptomatic class and understand the impact of these individuals on disease transmission.
