Evaluating chikungunya outbreak size and emergency vaccination strategies in Miami: an exploratory modeling study
While empirical validation is not yet possible due to the absence of large-scale outbreaks in Miami, our exploratory modeling provides forward-looking insights into how outbreaks might unfold and how emergency vaccination could mitigate their impact. This scenario-based framework should be viewed as an early evaluation to inform preparedness discussions, stimulate further research, and guide proactive public health strategies in Miami and other subtropical regions at risk for chikungunya.
