| Research Abstract |
Like Tokyo, we constructed virtual city including five areas on computer and 1.2 million residents, which are categorized into three attributes, company employees, students and non-workers, lives there. An agent-based simulation model was established to simulate epidemic at schools, companies or stores. We tuned the parameters in the simulation model so that the infectious rate becomes 30% and performed three types of vaccine deriver strategies; priority to company workers, people in house or random deriver. As the result, priority to company workers is the most effective.
