How a Simulation is Informing COVID-19 Vaccine Policy after our ‘Return to Normal’

A new model can simulate thousands of ‘individuals’ – each with their own vaccination and infection histories – tailoring vaccine schedules as new COVID-19 variants emerge.

The modelling informed WHO’s revised (March 2023) recommendations for COVID-19 booster vaccination to achieve equitable health outcomes.

The research is co-authored by two participants at the 2023 ADSN Conference, Dr TK Le and Isobel Abell, along with Dr Christopher Baker. You can read more about it in The University of Melbourne’s Pursuit:
