OBJECTIVES: Vaccination coverage rate is usually obtained from the decision of an immunization policy. Actual impacts to the outcomes by different vaccinated recipients selection and their coverage rates were seldom discussed. This study aims to use a transmission dynamic model (TDM) based on a system of differential equations in susceptible-infectious-recovered model to optimally explore the estimates of coverage rates.
