Assessing parameter sensitivity in a university campus COVID-19 model with vaccinations.

ABSTRACT: From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, universities have experienced unique challenges due to their dual nature as a place of education and residence. Current research has explored non-pharmaceutical approaches to combating COVID-19, including representing in models different categories such as age groups. One key area not currently well represented in models is the effect of pharmaceutical preventative measures, specifically vaccinations, on COVID-19 spread on college campuses. There remain key questions on the sensitivity of COVID-19 infection rates on college campuses to potentially time-varying vaccine immunity. Here we introduce a compartment model that decomposes a campus population into constituent subpopulations and implements vaccinations with time-varying efficacy. We use t
