Population Models of Epidemics with Infection Age and Vaccination Age Structure

Explore a 40-minute lecture by Glenn Webb from Vanderbilt University that develops a population dynamics epidemic model incorporating both infection age and vaccination age structure. Learn how the model analyzes pre-symptomatic and symptomatic periods of infected individuals through infection age, while examining vaccination efficacy through vaccination age. The presentation demonstrates practical applications of this mathematical framework to two significant outbreaks: the 2003 SARS epidemic in Taiwan and the COVID-19 epidemic in New York State. This IMSA-hosted talk provides valuable insights into advanced epidemiological modeling techniques that account for critical temporal factors in disease spread and intervention.
