Abstract : We developed a mathematical model considering vaccination in the country. We incorporated stochastic terms to capture uncertainty. Results show the importance of booster shots that increases the vaccine-induced immunity duration. We then consider the problem of distributing a limited vaccine supply over a time period considering that the country is divided into regions. Simulations showed that the strategy solved from our formulation is better at minimizing infections than a discussed alternative strategy.
