Modelling the impact of vaccine hesitancy in prolonging the need for Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions to control the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

Olivera Mesa et al. model the potential impact of vaccine hesitancy in prolonging the need for non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to control the COVID-19 pandemic. They show that vaccine hesitancy could prolong the need for NPIs to remain in place and lead to increased mortality if NPIs are relaxed.
