Mathematical modelling for vaccine efficacy trials during the future epidemics of emerging respiratory infections

Assessing vaccine efficacy (VE) during emerging epidemics is challenging due to unpredictable disease transmission dynamics.We aimed to investigate the impact of vaccine randomized controlled trials (RCTs) timing on estimates of VE and sample sizes during future epidemics of emerging respiratory diseases.We developed an age-structured susceptible-e
