Ring vaccination and vector control as control strategies for potential yellow fever outbreak in an Asian city
Our findings suggested that ring vaccination is effective under lower mosquito-to-human ratios up to 1-week post-detection, with vaccination coverage of at least 50 %. After that, further interventions are required to bring the effective reproduction number <i>R</i> <sub><i>eff</i></sub> under 1, highlighting the need for rapid response and containment, preparation in the stockpiling of vaccines, and continual suppression of mosquito vector populations when faced with the risk of YF importation and outbreak.
