Assessment of the Impact of Response Activities to the Aftermaths of Local Epidemics, Caused by the Agents of Particularly Dangerous Infections: Community Immunity

Abstract
Objective is to demonstrate the advantages of assessment of the community immunity impact on the epidemics aftermaths using universal computerized model of local, developing within the closed population, epidemics/outbreaks of particularly dangerous and socially-significant infections, designed at the premises of SSC VB “Vector”. Modeling outcomes allow for evaluation of the efficacy of preliminary and emergency immunization for epidemic control. It is shown that for the modeled infections the level of community immunity, developed before the start of the outbreak, can play a significant role in minimization of implications. Effect of the mass vaccination, performed concurrently with the other response measures, is far less tangible. The model is available at http://vector-epimod.ru.
