Chapter Overview
This chapter introduces the key concepts in mathematical modeling of vaccine-preventable diseases, and special features of vaccination such as herd immunity, disease elimination and waning immunity. It also reviews the interface of biosurveillance with monitoring and control of vaccine-preventable diseases.
