A Mathematical model for Epidemic dynamics with multiple vaccines, age-structured strategies, and parameter estimation
摘要
Mathematical modeling is vital for understanding infectious disease dynamics and informing public health strategies. This study introduces a compartmental model that integrates age-structured vaccination dynamics, waning immunity, and multistage disease progression to analyze COVID-19 transmission in Italy and Portugal. Using differential equations, the model captures interactions among susceptible, exposed, vaccinated, infected, hospitalized, recovered, and deceased populations. We prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution, calculate the basic reproduction number (
