Summary
We are using mathematical models to explore the dynamics of pathogens like SARS-CoV-2 and their interaction among each other and the immune system. Fed with data from health authorities, our models offer new insights into virus spread and vaccination efficacy. Recent studies reveal how the interaction of pathogens affects vaccination strategies, underscoring the importance of timing of vaccinations, especially for children and across different geographic regions.
