Description

COVID-19 has plagued the globe. Mathematical models have been used to inform public health decision makers various global regions. In Canada, non-pharmaceutical intervention and vaccination programming were informed by modelling forecasts. In this talk we will review COVID-19 in Canada. We will then introduce mathematical models that have been used during the pandemic. Mathematical models of immunity will be presented, which quantify immunity protection by Canadian region.
