Simulation of the Reed-Frost model for epidemics: effect of vaccination

            Usage of this interactive tutorial assumes familiarity with the model of epidemics developed by L. Reed and W.H. Frost. If you did not yet do so, please visit first tutorial no. 1.

      This interactive simulation explores the effect of vaccination mesasures. The epidemics occurs in a small village (N = 1000 individuals) starting from a single case of the disease; the number of potentially contagious encounters is set to 5. You can decide which fraction of the population is vaccinated before the beginning of the elidemics.
      Please select the fraction of vaccinated population:
0% ; 30% ; 50% ; 60% ; 90%
