Updating age-specific contact structures to match evolving demography in a dynamic mathematical model of tuberculosis vaccination.

Updating age-specific contact structures to match evolving demography in a dynamic mathematical model of tuberculosis vaccination.

We investigated the effects of updating age-specific social contact matrices to match evolving demography on vaccine impact estimates. We used a dynamic transmission model of tuberculosis in India as a case study. We modelled four incremental methods to update contact matrices over time, where each...
