MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR MEASLES TRANSMISSION CONTROL THROUGH AGE-STRUCTURED VACCINATION.

Abstract

The abstract presents a mathematical model designed to control measles transmission through age-structured vaccination. Vaccination is pivotal in controlling this contagious disease, and the model investigates various aspects such as existence and uniqueness, minimal recurrence rate, stability analysis of local and global equilibria, and sensitivity analysis. Utilizing the Homotopy Perturbation Method for numerical analysis, the model assesses the impact of target parameters. Results indicate that vaccination emerges as a potent and efficient control policy, effectively flattening the disease curve. This underscores the significance of vaccination strategies in curbing measles transmission.
