set_rtss_epi: Parameterise an RTS,S epi strategy

In pahanc/malariasimulation_Ace_params: An individual based model for malaria

Parameterise an RTS,S epi strategy

Description

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

Usage

set_rtss_epi(
  parameters,
  start,
  end,
  coverage,
  age,
  min_wait,
  boosters,
  booster_coverage,
  seasonal_boosters = FALSE
)

Arguments

parameters	a list of parameters to modify
start	timestep to turn on epi vaccination
end	timestep to turn off epi vaccination
coverage	the coverage for the starter doses
age	for the target population, (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_rtss and set_rtss_epi, this represents the minimum time between an individual being vaccinated under one scheme and vaccinated under another.
boosters	the timesteps (following the final dose) at which booster vaccinations are administered
booster_coverage	the proportion of the vaccinated population who will receive each booster vaccine
seasonal_boosters	logical, if TRUE the first booster timestep is relative to the start of the year, otherwise they are relative to the last dose
