Transmission Dynamics of Hepatitis C with Control Strategies

Figure 9

Simulations show the optimal vaccination control and its effectiveness. The left simulation presents the vaccination strategy to be followed to prevent the epidemic and disease spread. The right simulation presents comparison of the total chronically infected individuals under optimal and constant control. Clearly optimal strategy prevents the epidemic and retains the infected population to a minimum.
