Impact of vaccine arrival on the optimal control of a newly emerging infectious disease: A theoretical study by Bruno Buonomo, Eleonora Messina

“…In this paper, we consider the scenario in which authorities may rely initially only on non-pharmaceutical interventions at the beginning of the campaign, knowing that a vaccine will later be available, at an exogenous and known switching time. We use a two-stage optimal control problem over a finite time horizon to analyze the optimal intervention strategies during the whole campaign, and to assess the effects of the new intervention tool on the preceding stage of the campaign. …”
