Optimizing targeted vaccination across cyber–physical networks: an empirically based mathematical simulation study by Mones, Enys, Stopczynski, Arkadiusz, Pentland, Alex, Hupert, Nathaniel, Lehmann, Sune

“…Digital communication networks may reflect not only virtual but also physical interactions that could result in disease transmission, but the precise overlap between these cyber and physical networks has never been empirically explored in real-life settings. Here, we study the digital communication activity of more than 500 individuals along with their person-to-person contacts at a 5-min temporal resolution. …”
