In mrc-ide/malariasimulation: An individual based model for malaria

set_pev_epi

R Documentation

Parameterise a pre-erythrocytic vaccine with an EPI strategy

Description

distribute vaccine when an individual becomes a certain age. Efficacy will take effect after the last dose

Usage

set_pev_epi(
  parameters,
  profile,
  coverages,
  timesteps,
  age,
  min_wait,
  booster_spacing,
  booster_coverage,
  booster_profile,
  seasonal_boosters = FALSE
)

Arguments

`parameters`	a list of parameters to modify
`profile`	a list of details for the vaccine profile, create with `create_pev_profile`
`coverages`	a vector of coverages for the primary doses
`timesteps`	a vector of timesteps for each change in coverage
`age`	the age when an individual will receive the first dose of the vaccine (in timesteps)
`min_wait`	the minimum acceptable time since the last vaccination (in timesteps); When seasonal_boosters = TRUE, this represents the minimum time between an individual receiving the final dose and the first booster. When using both set_mass_pev and set_pev_epi, this represents the minimum time between an individual being vaccinated under one scheme and vaccinated under another.
`booster_spacing`	the timesteps (following the final primary dose) at which booster vaccinations are administered
`booster_coverage`	a matrix of coverages (timesteps x boosters) specifying the proportion the previously vaccinated population to continue receiving booster doses. The rows of the matrix must be the same size as `timesteps`. The columns of the matrix must be the same size as `booster_spacing`.
`booster_profile`	list of lists representing each booster profile, the outer list must be the same length as `booster_spacing`. Create vaccine profiles with `create_pev_profile`
`seasonal_boosters`	logical, if TRUE the first booster timestep is relative to the start of the year, otherwise they are relative to the last primary dose
