Abstract:
Immunity is gained from infection and vaccination, and it can decay over time. Immunity is also an individual and a population-level characteristic. We will discuss mathematical models of immunity in-host and in populations. The models are used to track immunity dynamics and determine the feasibility of control strategies that enhance immunity and minimize infection.
