Voluntary Vaccination through Perceiving Epidemic Severity in Social Networks

Figure 1

The final vaccine coverage and epidemic size as the relative cost increases under different decision-making mechanisms in three types of social networks. Simulations are carried out on scale-free networks ((a) and (b)), small-world networks ((c) and (d)), and random regular networks ((e) and (f)). The results are averaged over 100 independent network simulations with network size and average degree .
