Isolation
Strategies to Contain an Outbreak
Choosing
a Vaccination Strategy
Two
very significant factors in selecting a vaccination strategy are
the vaccine supply and the extent of the outbreak.
The number of
available doses could make the difference between focusing only
on the ring of contacts and the contacts of contacts and focusing
on an entire community.
Is the outbreak
confined to one small area, or are there multiple areas in various
places around the country? Localized cases could mean choosing
a smaller number of people to vaccinate. Cases around the country
could indicate a multi-prolonged attack and lead to the decision
to immunize the entire population.
