Effectiveness of Ring Vaccination as Control Strategy for Ebola Virus Disease

EXPEDITED AHEAD-OF-PRINT ARTICLES — November 3, 2015

Dispatch Effectiveness of Ring Vaccination as Control Strategy for Ebola Virus Disease Adam J. Kucharski, Rosalind M. Eggo, Conall H. Watson, Anton Camacho, Sebastian Funk, and W. John Edmunds Abstract Using an Ebola virus disease transmission model, we found that addition of ring vaccination at the outset of the West Africa epidemic might not have led to containment of this disease. However, in later stages of the epidemic or outbreaks with less intense transmission or more effective control, this strategy could help eliminate the disease. Volume 22, Number 1 - January 2016
