Abstract:
We present a simple model for vaccination and prevention of
respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in the form of system of differential
equations. In this model, the population is divided into three
compartments: susceptible, infected and recovery. RSV control
simulation consists of vaccination, campaign program and the
combination of these two controls. Among these controls, the
combination of vaccination and campaign program are the most
effective strategy for controlling the disease. We conclude that
vaccination parameter plays an important role in controlling the
disease. The parameter has a more significant impact on the reduction
of the infected compartment compared to campaign program one. We
also found the appropriate period of time for the vaccination to obtain
effective results. We also discussed the phase portrait between
susceptible and infected in the presence of vaccination and campaign
program. In addition, as case study, we conduct curve fitting the model
with the data respiratory syncytial virus disease in North Carolina,
USA.
