Efficient local strategies for vaccination and network attack
Open accessAbstract
We study how a fraction of a population should be vaccinated to most efficiently stop epidemics. Our starting point is that only local information—about the neighborhood of specific vertices—is usable in practice. For this reason we consider only local vaccination strategies. The efficiency of the vaccination strategies is investigated with both static and dynamic measures. We test the strategies on real-world networks and model networks with real-world characteristics. Among other things, we find that the most efficient strategy for many real-world situations is to iteratively vaccinate the neighbor of the previous vaccinee that has the most links out of the neighborhood.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
