Modeling the population effects of escape mutations in SARS-CoV-2 to guide vaccination strategies.

Abstract excerpt

SARS-Cov-2 escape mutations (EM) have been detected and are spreading. Vaccines may need adjustment to respond to these or future mutations. We designed a population level model integrating both waning immunity and EM. We also designed a set of criteria for elaborating and fitting this model to cross-neutralization and other data with a goal of minimizing vaccine decision errors. We formulated four related...
