Temporal Evolution of Immunity Distributions in a Population with Waning and Boosting

Figure 10

Comparison of immune distribution for different boosting mechanisms at different levels of an outbreak. (a) The solution and the four reference points to be considered for comparison: (A) the infection peak, (B) an intermediate level after the outbreak, (C) the minimal infection level, and (D) just before a new outbreak. (b–e) Immune distribution corresponding to the points (A)–(D).
