4 Vaccine scares: Influenza A (H1N1) (flu) ( ) At 15/06/2010 flu (H1N1): deaths in 213 countries (WHO) France: 1334 severe forms (out of 7.7M-14.7M people infected) Vaccination in France Adjuvant suspected of some neurological undesired effects; mass vaccination uncertainty (few previous studies for this size) Very costly campaign (500M EUR), Low efficiency (8% to 10% in France with respect to e.g., 24% US or 74% Canada). Gabriel Turinici (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43

5 Vaccine scares: Example : Influenza A in Vaccination Coverage expected and realized in different countries on percentage of population: (See schedule 3 of the French parliamentary report number 2698) Countries Target coverage Effective rate of vaccination Germany 100 % 10% Belgium 100 % 6 % Spain 40 % < 4% France % 8.5 % Italy 40 % 1.4 % Gabriel Turinici (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43

6 Vaccine scares Previous vaccine scares (some have been disproved since): France: hepatitis B vaccines cause multiple sclerosis US: mercury additives are responsible for the rise in autism UK: the whooping cough (1970s), the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) (1990s). Vaccine Scares : as cases of a disease decrease, people become complacent about their risk, and the threat of vaccines (imagined or real) seems greater than the threat of disease (C. Bauch) Gabriel Turinici (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43

7 Further motivation: end of compulsory vaccination context in France: discussions on the end of general compulsory vaccination How is vaccination coverage evolving? Example: nobody vaccinates then an additional individual may vaccinate; if all vaccinate an additional invididual will not vaccinate. Will the vaccination coverage become unstable or chaotic? question: what are the determinants of individual vaccination hint: individual decisions sum up to give a global response; need a model.

11 The SIR-V model Global model βsidt γidt Susceptible Infected Recovered dv Vaccinated Figure: Graphical illustration of the SIR-V model. In this model all individuals are identical. β : probability of contamination, γ : recovery rates, dv (t) : measure of vaccination (!!) I ds = βsidt dv (t) di(t) dt = βsi γi dr(t) dt = γi(t) S Gabriel Turinici (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43

12 Vaccination cost functional Cost for an infected person : r I. Cost of the vaccine (including side-effects) : r V. Global cost for the society (from the initial state X 0 = (S(0), I(0)) T ) : J(X 0, V ) = r I βsidt + r V dv (t) (1) 0 BUT this is not an individual perspective Abakuks, Andris, 1974 Optimal immunisation policies for epidemics,..., LL & GT, Math.

14 the vaccination is at birth only (probability p) ; at equilibrium vaccination occurs when the probability to be infected r V /r I. no time dependence; final state stationary. equilibrium ok if everybody does the same no eradication possible through voluntary vaccination, endemic state (coherent with literature) vaccine scare behavior : let other vaccinate (when perceived risk differs from that of majority) Gabriel Turinici (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43 Taking into account the individual decisions: previous literature Bauch & Earn (PNAS 2004) consider the SIR-V model with births and deaths : ds = µ(1 p) βsidt µs di = (βsi γi)dt µi dr = γidt µr dv = µp β : probability of contamination, γ : recovery rates, dv (t) : measure of vaccination µ : the birth / death rate p the probability to vaccinate at birth

15 Taking into account the individual decisions: previous literature Francis (2004) : uses a SIR-V model to find an equilibrium. Results: They identify the vaccination region although the problem is not formulated as an optimization at the individual level. Galvani, Reluga & Chapman (PNAS 2006) consider a double SIR-V periodic model of flu with two age groups (break at 65yrs). Vaccination is separated from dynamics, once at the beginning of each season. Results : show that actual vaccine coverage is consistent with individual optimum; explain impact of age-targetted campaigns (children). Gabriel Turinici (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43

16 Taking into account the individual decisions: previous literature Bauch (2005) : time dependent vaccination rate p(t); probability to be infected is approximated by a rule of thumb (proportional to I(t)); the corresponding dynamics is a phenomenological proposal (m a parameter) : dp(t) = kp(1 p)(mr I I(t) r V ) dt B. Buonomo : vaccination as a feedback F. Fu : taking into account the topology (networks of acquaintances) Gabriel Turinici (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43

Vaccinated Individual dynamics: continuous time Markov jumps between Susceptible, Infected, Recovered and Vaccinated classes. Gabriel Turinici (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43

18 Taking into account the individual decisions : individual strategy the simplest one, the pure strategy : vaccinate with certainty at some given instant τ [0, ] (τ = means no vaccination) In terms of probability to vaccinate a pure strategy is H( τ) with H( ) the Heaviside function. Here τ = 2.5. is it always optimal? NO does it give a stable equilibrium? NO Gabriel Turinici (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43

19 Taking into account the individual decisions : the cost of pure strategies Costs of pure strategies Π t vaccinating at t: J pure (Π 0 ) = r V, J pure (Π t ) = r I ϕ I (t) + r V (1 ϕ I (t)), J pure (Π ) = r I ϕ I ( ). more realistic mixed strategies (related game theory concepts in timing games cf. Drew & Tirole): the individual chooses a probability measure dϕ V over the space of all pure strategies The CDF function ϕ V (t) is increasing, right con tinuous with left limits (càdlàg) with ϕ V (0 ) = 0, ϕ V ( ) 1. In particular ϕ V (t) = probability to choose vaccination in the interval [0, t]. Overall cost of strategy ϕ V : J indi (ϕ V ; V ) = (1 ϕ V ( ))J pure (Π ) + 0 J pure (Π t )dϕ V (t) J indi (ϕ V ; V ) = r I ϕ I ( ) + ] 0 [r V r I ϕ I ( ) + (r I r V )ϕ I (t) dϕ V (t). Gabriel Turinici (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43

20 Discounted individual strategy discount factor D > 0 : use Φ I (t) = t 0 e Dτ dϕ I (τ), Φ I (0 ) = 0. J D pure(π t ) = r I Φ I (t) + e Dt r V (1 ϕ I (t)). J D pure(π ) = r I Φ I ( ). Cost of strategy ϕ V : Jindi D (ϕ V ) = r I Φ I ( )+ ] 0 [r I (Φ I (t) Φ I ( ))+r V e Dt (1 ϕ I (t)) dϕ V (t). Gabriel Turinici (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43

21 Taking into account the individual decisions : individual strategy Constraints : if global vaccination is at maximal rate u max : V (t + t) V (t) u max t. umax t Probability of being vaccinated in [t, t + t]: S(t). A pure strategy is transformed into a queue (exponential). Individual constraint dϕ V (t) umax S(t) (1 ϕ V (t))dt. If everybody has the same ϕ V then dv (t) = dϕ V (t) 1 ϕ V (t) S(t) (when this operation makes sense). Gabriel Turinici (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43

22 related works: C. Gueant (graphs), O. Cardaliaguet (HJB), D. Gomes : hyp. of superlinear costs (here linear); pure strategy set is not Gabriel Turinici compact. (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43 Individual cost functional { ds = βsidt dv (t) di = (βsi γi)dt. vaccination at the society level with dv (t); it can have the form dv (t) = u G (t)dt. Society dynamics induces a cumulative probability of infection on [0, t] : ϕ I (t) solution of dϕ I (t) = βi(t)(1 ϕ I (t))dt, ϕ I (0) = 0. Individual decision: ϕ V (with constraints cf. above). Individual cost functional J indi (ϕ V ; V ) = r I ϕ I ( ) + ] 0 [r V r I ϕ I ( ) + (r I r V )ϕ I (t) dϕ V (t). Individual - global equilibrium condition (global strategy arise from individual decisions): dv (t) = S(t) 1 ϕ V (t) dϕ V (t) (when this operation makes sense) (Mean Field Games, cf. Lasry - Lions, Caines - Huang - Malhamé).

23 Theoretical results for discount=0 Theoretical results (GT, LL 2014): fixed global (societal) policy Optimal individual solution : vaccination until the overall infection risk βs(τ)i(τ)dτ t S(t) (depending on dv ) falls below r V ri. Theoretical results (GT, LL 2014): equilibrium a stable (mixed, Nash) equilibrium exists the domain is divided into a vaccination region and a non-vaccination region. the frontier of the vaccination region is the line: infection risk = r V ri Formula ζ(s,i) S X. = r V ri ; ζ(x) = size of a non-controlled epidemic from Comparison between Π 0 and Π is enough (cf. Francis)! Gabriel Turinici (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43

24 Theoretical results for discount=0 I 1 Red region: vaccination in the societal model and in the individual model, green region : vaccination for the societal model but not for the individual, blue region: no vaccination in both models. O 1 S Mean cost for an individual in the stable individual-global equilibrium is larger than the cost for the, non equilibrium, societal (non-individual) optimum state this is because in the green region, it is optimal for individuals to let other vaccinate. Conclusion: the stable strategy will be obtained even if it is more costly for everyone; the cost of anarchy in the model is non-null.

More complicated regions for u max <. Gabriel Turinici (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43

26 Application to Influenza A 2009/2010 vaccination The SIR model was fit to the observed vaccination coverage (J.P. Guthman et al. BEH 2010); the other parameters were chosen consistent with ranges from the literature (large CIs!). Time axis = weeks starting from W19Y2009; peak = W49Y2009 (30), vaccination peak = W51Y2009 (31-32), vaccination end W05Y2010 (40) Comparison of numbers of cases Real Model Comparison of cumulative numbers of cases Real Model Comparison of cumulative numbers of vaccination Real Modeled Gabriel Turinici (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43

(week 32). The last group corresponds to r V /r I < 1% (week 40; model cannot be more precise with available data). Gabriel Turinici (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43

31 Individual cost The cost for an individual has three components: the cost r I of being infected before vaccination the cost r V of vaccination plus a possible cost of being infected while immunity is still building or after the persistence period the cost r V of failed vaccination plus a possible cost of being infected For an individual starting at M 0 = S, the total cost is ( ) J indi (ξ; V ) = r V P n<n {M n+1 = V 0, M n V 0 } M 0 = S ( ) +r V P n<n {M n+1 = F, M n F } M 0 = S ( ) +r I P n<n {M n+1 = I 0, M n I 0 } M 0 = S Gabriel Turinici (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43

32 Individual strategy is a probability density on {t 0,..., t N 1 } { }: ξ Σ N+1 = {(x 0,..., x N ) R N+1 x k 0, x x N = 1}. ξ n : probability that the individual vaccinates at time t n (if it was not infected before t n ); before the beginning of the epidemic he knows the time t n at which he will vaccinate (unless he is already infected by that time). Conditional rates λ n are derived from ξ. Mapping between λ = (λ n ) N 1 n=0 and ξ: ξ := N 1 n 1 (1 λ n ), ξ n := λ n (1 λ k ), n N 1 n=0 ξ n k=0, if ξ n + + ξ > 0 ξ n + + ξ n N 1 : λ n = 0, otherwise Gabriel Turinici (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43

33 The individual minimal cost The individual cannot change the overall societal vaccination, he can only choose his own vaccination strategy ξ. J indi (ξ; V ) = ξ, g V, g V, ξ R N+1. J indi (ξ; V ) to be minimized under the constraint ξ Σ N+1. Compatibility relationship between ξ and V when all individuals follow this vaccination policy: V n (the societal vaccination) = λ n S n Gabriel Turinici (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43

34 Existence of equilibria Theorem The vaccination dynamics model admits a Nash equilibrium. Idea: existence: fixed point (Kakutani); uniqueness?? C ξ := g V with strategy ξ E(ξ): maximum gain obtained by an individual if he changes unilaterally its strategy (and everybody else remaining with the strategy ξ): E(ξ) = ξ, C ξ min η, C ξ 0 η Σ N+1 Σ N+1 : space of all possible strategies Equilibrium: it corresponds to a ξ such that E(ξ) = 0 Gabriel Turinici (CEREMADE & IUF) Vaccination and Markov MFG July / 43

35 The algorithm How to compute the equilibrium? Step 1: Choose a step τ > 0 and a starting distribution ξ 1. Set iteration count k = 1. Step 2: Compute dist(η, ξ k ) 2 ξ k+1 argmin η ΣN+1 + η, C ξk. (2) 2τ Step 3: If E(ξ k+1 ) is smaller than a given tolerance then stop and exit, otherwise set k k + 1 and go back to Step 1. Remark: -flow (depends on which distance is chosen).
