Optimal individual strategies for influenza vaccines with imperfect efficacy and durability of protection

  • We analyze a model of agent based vaccination campaign against influenza with imperfect vaccine efficacy and durability of protection. We prove the existence of a Nash equilibrium by Kakutani's fixed point theorem in the context of non-persistent immunity. Subsequently, we propose and test a novel numerical method to find the equilibrium. Various issues of the model are then discussed, such as the dependence of the optimal policy with respect to the imperfections of the vaccine, as well as the best vaccination timing. The numerical results show that, under specific circumstances, some counter-intuitive behaviors are optimal, such as, for example, an increase of the fraction of vaccinated individuals when the efficacy of the vaccine is decreasing up to a threshold. The possibility of finding optimal strategies at the individual level can help public health decision makers in designing efficient vaccination campaigns and policies.

    A mathematical model is a helpful tool to recognize the conduct of an infection when it starts to affect the community and it is useful to analyze under what conditions it can be screened out or to be continued [1]. A virus is known as infectious when any disease is transferred from one person to another via different ways of transmission like droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales, or direct contact with another human, water, or any physical product. To analyze this type of transmission we need some authentic mathematical tools in which few of them are difference equations, initial conditions, working parameters, and statistical estimation. In this new era, new mathematical techniques give us more updated and reliable tools to understand many diseases or infections in epidemiology and even give us updated strategies to control disease or infection in different and suitable conditions [2].

    From all of the viruses, the COVID-19 is gradually becoming a watershed pandemic in the antiquity of the planet. COVID-19 is an abbreviation of Coronavirus disease which started in 2019. In December of 2019, the first case of COVID-19 was observed in Wuhan, the city of China [3]. The common symptoms of COVID-19 are loss of smell and taste, fever, dry cough, shortening of breath, fatigue, muscle, and joint pain, phlegm production, sore throat, headache, and chills, these symptoms vary from person to person. The most common incubation period ranges from 1 to 12 days. COVID-19 spreads by physical interaction between individuals. Use of masks, sanitizer, and having a distance of 2 m between individuals results in minimizing the spread of the virus up to much extent [4]. These vaccines played a bold role in minimizing the spread of COVID-19. The main focused area of this spread is the working area, schools, offices, markets, and other open circles [5],[6].

    Fractional derivative was originated in 1695. If we describe the list of fractional derivatives then it is divided into two types. Caputo, Riemann-Liouville, and Katugampola [7] are fractional derivatives with the singular kernel. Caputo-Fabrizio(exponential) [8] and ABC(Mittag-Leffler) [9] are fractional derivatives without singular kernels. Fractional calculus has very vast application properties in our daily life. It is being used in chemical, biological, physical, finance, pharmaceutical, engineering [10],[11], and many other fields [12][14]. FFD is mostly used because it gives a realistic way of representation of our model and hence we have used this same for representing our COVID-19 epidemics [15][18]. A time-fractional compartmental model for the COVID-19 pandemic [21] and classical SIR model for COVID-19 in United States is study in [22]. The COVID-19 pandemic (caused by SARS-CoV-2) has introduced significant challenges for accurate prediction of population morbidity and mortality by traditional variable-based methods of estimation. Challenges to modeling include inadequate viral physiology comprehension and fluctuating definitions of positivity between national-to-international data. This paper proposes that accurate forecasting of COVID-19 caseload may be best preformed non-perimetrically, by vector autoregressive (VAR) of verifiable data regionally [23]. Fundamental properties of the new generalized fractional derivatives in the sense of Caputo and RiemannLiouville are rigorously studied and its related work [24][26]. COVID-19 Decision-Making System (CDMS) was developed to study disease transmission in [27]. The change in atmospheric pollution from a public lockdown in Greece introduced to curb the spread of the COVID-19 is examined based on ground-based and satellite observations and some related issues in [28][30].

    The fractional-order derivative of AB in Reimann Liouville-Caputo sense (ABC) [19] is given by

    ABCγDγt{f(t)}=AB(γ)mγtγdmdwmf(w)Eγ[γ(tw)γmγ]dw,m1<γ<m

    where Eγ is the Mittag-Leffler function and AB(γ) is a normalization function and AB(0) = AB(1) = 1. The Laplace transform of above is given by

    [ABCγDγtf(t)](s)=AB(γ)1γsγL[f(t)](s)sγ1f(0)sγ+γ1γ

    with the aid of sumudu transformation, we get

    ST[ABCγDγtf(t)](s)=B(γ)1γ(γΓ(γ+1)Eγ(11γνγ))×[ST(f(t))f(0)]

    The ABC fractional integral of order γ of a function f(t) is given by

    ABCγIγt{f(t)}=1(γ)Bγf(t)+(γ)B(γ)Γ(γ)tγf(s)(ts)γ1ds

    In this section, consider the improved SEIR model given in [20] having compartments SEIQRPD, where S represents the number of uninfected individuals, E represents infected individuals at the time t but still in incubation period (without clinical symptoms and low infectivity), I represents the number of infected individuals at the time t (with obvious clinical symptoms), Q represents the number of individuals who have been diagnosed and isolated at the time t, R represents the number of recovered individuals at the time t, P represents the number of susceptible individuals who are not exposed to the external environment at the time t and D represents the number of death cases at time t.

    ABC0DγtS(t)=β1(t)a1(S(t))b1(I(t))β2a2(S(t))b2(E(t))ρS(t),ABC0DγtE(t)=β1(t)a1(S(t))b1(I(t))+β2a2(S(t))b2(E(t))ϵE(t),ABC0DγtI(t)=ϵE(t)δI(t),ABC0DγtQ(t)=δI(t)(λ(t)+κ(t))Q(t),ABC0DγtR(t)=λ(t)Q(t),ABC0DγtP(t)=ρS(t)ABC0DγtD(t)=κ(t)Q(t)

    here β1(t)=σ1exp(σ2t),λ(t)=λ1(1exp(λ2t)) and κ(t)=κ1exp(κ2t) σ1,σ2,λ1,λ2,κ1 and κ2 are the parameters which are all positive, here simulation is used by the σ affect of government control. It should be emphasized that the protection rate ρ for susceptible individuals also reflects the intensity of government control [18]. ABC0Dγt, is the ABC sense fractional derivative with 0<γ1. The initial conditions of the system Eq 5 are:

    S0(t)=S(0),E0(t)=E(0),I0(t)=I(0),Q0(t)=Q(0)R0(t)=R(0),P0(t)=P(0),D0(t)=D(0)

    applying ST operator on both sides, we get

    OγEγ(11γωγ)[ST(S(t))S(0)]=ST[β1(t)a1(S(t))b1(I(t))β2a2(S(t))b2(E(t))ρS(t)],OγEγ(11γωγ)[ST(E(t))E(0)]=ST[β1(t)a1(S(t))b1(I(t))+β2a2(S(t))b2(E(t))ϵE(t)],OγEγ(11γωγ)[ST(I(t))I(0)]=ST[ϵE(t)δI(t)],OγEγ(11γωγ)[ST(Q(t))Q(0)]=ST[δI(t)(λ(t)+κ(t))Q(t)],OγEγ(11γωγ)[ST(R(t))R(0)]=ST[λ(t)Q(t)],OγEγ(11γωγ)[ST(P(t))P(0)]=ST[ρS(t)],OγEγ(11γωγ)[ST(D(t))D(0)]=ST[κ(t)Q(t)]

    where Oγ=B(γ)γΓ(γ+1)1γ system Eq 7 becomes

    ST[S(t)]=S(0)+1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[β1(t)a1(S(t))b1(I(t))β2a2(S(t))b2(E(t))ρS(t)],ST[E(t)]=E(0)+1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[β1(t)a1(S(t))b1(I(t))+β2a2(S(t))b2(E(t))ϵE(t)],ST[I(t)]=I(0)+1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[ϵE(t)δI(t)],ST[Q(t)]=Q(0)+1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[δI(t)(λ(t)+κ(t))Q(t)],ST[R(t)]=R(0)+1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[λ(t)Q(t)],ST[P(t)]=P(0)+1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[ρS(t)],ST[D(t)]=D(0)+1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[κ(t)Q(t)]

    taking inverse Sumudu Transform on both sides, we get

    S(t)=S(0)+ST1{1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[β1(t)a1(S(t))b1(I(t))β2a2(S(t))b2(E(t))ρS(t)]},E(t)=E(0)+ST1{1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[β1(t)a1(S(t))b1(I(t))+β2a2(S(t))b2(E(t))ϵE(t)]},I(t)=I(0)+ST1{1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[ϵE(t)δI(t)]},Q(t)=Q(0)+ST1{1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[δI(t)(λ(t)+κ(t))Q(t)]},R(t)=R(0)+ST1{1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[λ(t)Q(t)]},P(t)=P(0)+ST1{1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[ρS(t)]},D(t)=D(0)+ST1{1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[κ(t)Q(t)]}

    Therefore, the following is obtained

    S(m+1)(t)=Sm(0)+ST1{1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[β1a1(Sm(t))b1(Im(t))β2a2(Sm(t))b2(Em(t))ρSm(t)]},E(m+1)(t)=Em(0)+ST1{1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[β1a1(Sm(t))b1(Im(t))+β2a2(Sm(t))b2(Em(t))ϵEm(t)]},I(m+1)(t)=Im(0)+ST1{1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[ϵEm(t)δIm(t)]},Q(m+1)(t)=Qm(0)+ST1{1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[δIm(t)(λ+κ)Qm(t)]},R(m+1)(t)=Rm(0)+ST1{1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[λQm(t)]},P(m+1)(t)=Pm(0)+ST1{1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[ρSm(t)]},D(m+1)(t)=Dm(0)+ST1{1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[κQm(t)]}

    Let's consider Eq 10, and then we get

    S(t)=limmSm(t);E(t)=limmEm(t);I(t)=limmIm(t);Q(t)=limmQm(t);R(t)=limmRm(t);P(t)=limmPm(t));D(t)=limmDm(t)

    Theorem 3.1: Let (X,|.|) be a Banach space and H a self-map of X satisfying

    HrHxθXHr+θrx

    for all r,xX, where 0θ<1. Assume that H is Pichard H-stable

    Let us consider Eq 10, and we obtain

    1OγEγ(11γωγ)

    the above equation is associated with the fractional Lagrange multiplier.

    Proof

    Define K be a self-map is given by

    K[S(m+1)(t)]=S(m+1)(t)=Sm(0)+ST1[1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[β1a1(Sm(t))b1(Im(t))β2a2(Sm(t))b2(Em(t))ρSm(t)]K[E(m+1)(t)]=E(m+1)(t)=Em(0)+ST1[1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[β1a1(Sm(t))b1(Im(t))+β2a2(Sm(t))b2(Em(t))ϵEm(t)]K[I(m+1)(t)]=I(m+1)(t)=Im(0)+ST1[1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[ϵEm(t)δIm(t)]K[Q(m+1)(t)]=Q(m+1)(t)=Qm(0)+ST1[1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[δIm(t)(λ+κ)Qm(t)]K[R(m+1)(t)]=R(m+1)(t)=Rm(0)+ST1[1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[λQm(t)]K[P(m+1)(t)]=P(m+1)(t)=Pm(0)+ST1[1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[ρSm(t)]K[D(m+1)(t)]=D(m+1)(t)=Dm(0)+ST1[1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[κQm(t)]

    Applying the properties of the norm and triangular inequality, we get

    K[Sm(t)]K[Sn(t)]Sm(t)Sn(t)+ST1{1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[β1a1Sm(t)b1(Im(t))β2a2(Sm(t))b2(Em(t))ρSm(t)]}ST1{1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[β1a1(Sn(t))b1(In(t))β2a2(Sn(t))b2(En(t))ρSn(t)]},K[Em(t)]K[En(t)]Em(t)En(t)+ST1[1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[β1a1(Sm(t))b1(Im(t))+β2a2(Sm(t))b2(Em(t))ϵEm(t)]}ST1[1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[β1a1(Sn(t))b1(In(t))+β2a2(Sn(t))b2(En(t))ϵEn(t)]},K[Im(t)]K[In(t)]Im(t)In(t)+ST1[1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[ϵ(Em(t))δ(Im(t)))]}ST1[1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[ϵEn(t)δIn(t)]},K[Qm(t)]K[Qn(t)]Qm(t)Qn(t)+ST1[1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[δIm(t)(λ+κ)Qm(t))]}ST1[1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[δIn(t)(λ+κ)Qn(t)]}K[Rm(t)]K[Rn(t)]Rm(t)Rn(t)+ST1[1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[λ(Qm(t))]}ST1[1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[λQn(t)]},K[Pm(t)]K[Pn(t)]Pm(t)Pn(t)+ST1[1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[ρSm(t)]}ST1[1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[ρSn(t)]},K[Dm(t)]K[Dn(t)]Dm(t)Dn(t)+ST1[1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[κQm(t)]}ST1[1OγEγ(11γωγ)×ST[κQn(t)]}

    K fulfills the conditions associated with theorem 3.1 when

    θ=(0,0,0,0,0,0,0),θ=(Sm(t)Sn(t)×Sm(t)+Sn(t)β1a1(Sm(t)Sn(t))b1(Im(t)In(t))β2a2(Sm(t)Sn(t))b2(Em(t)En(t))ρ(Sm(t)Sn(t))×Em(t)En(t)×Em(t)+En(t)+β1a1(Sm(t)Sn(t))b2(Em(t)En(t))ϵ(Em(t)En(t))×Im(t)In(t)×Im(t)+In(t)+ϵ(Em(t)En(t))δIm(t)In(t)×Qm(t)Qn(t)×Qm(t)+Qn(t)+δ(Im(t)In(t))(λ(t)+κ(t))Qm(t)Qn(t)×Rm(t)Rn(t)×Rm(t)+Rn(t)+λ(Qm(t)Qn(t))×Pm(t)Pn(t)Pm(t)+Pn(t)+ρ(Sm(t)Sn(t))×Dm(t)Dn(t)Dm(t)+Dn(t)+κ(Qm(t)Qn(t))

    and we add that K is Picard K-stable.

    In this section, consider the numerical simulations of the proposed scheme using the ABC technique for the fractional-order COVID-19 model. Figure 1 shows the simulation S(t) represents the number of uninfected individuals. Shows a deep decreasing curve till point (20, 0.25) and then becomes constant and reduced to zero at (100, 0). Figure 2 shows the simulation E(t) of infected individuals but still is in the incubation period (without clinical symptoms and low infectivity). Figure 3 I(t) which represents the number of infected individuals. Here the graph shows a rapid increase (10, 9) and then decrease rapidly with the same rate and then it becomes constant at (100, 0). Figure 4 represents the number of individuals who have been diagnosed and isolated. Figures 5 and 6 shows the simulation of recovered individuals and those not exposed to the external environment respectively. Figure 7 shows the simulation D(t), which represents the death due to increasing or decreasing the infection rate of COVID-19 in society. It can be easily observed from all figures the solution will converge to steady-state and lie in the bounded domain by decreasing the fractional value. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that physical processes are better well described using the derivatives of fractional order which are more accurate and reliable in comparison with the classical-order derivatives. Moreover, it can be seen from all figures that tell that all infected individual comes zero after a few days due to the quarantine effect. The behavior of the dynamics obtained for different instances of fractional-order was shown in the form of numerical results has been reported.

    We consider the COVID-19 model with fractional operator for this work to check the dynamical behavior of infection of disease in society. In this regard, ABC derivative gave a realistic approach to analyze the effect of disseise during Quarantine which will be helpful for such type of epidemic. The existence and unique solution of the fractional-order model was made with the help of fixed point theory and iterative method. Numerical simulation has been made to check the actual behavior of the COVID-19 effect during quarantine which shows that infected individuals start decreasing after a few days. Such kind of results are very helpful for planning, decision-making, and developing control strategies to overcome the effect of COVID-19 in society.
