Abstract
We use analytical methods to investigate a continuous vaccination strategy's effects on the infectious disease dynamics in a closed population and a demographically open population. The methodology and key assumptions are based on Breda et al. (J Biol Dyn 6(Sup2):103-117, 2012). We show that the cumulative force of infection for the closed population and the endemic force of infection in the demographically open population can be reduced significantly by combining two factors: the vaccine effectiveness and the vaccination rate. The impact of these factors on the force of infection can transform an endemic steady state into a disease-free state.
