ملخص
In this paper we look at an SIRS epidemiological model with vaccination. Although immunity gained by experiencing the disease is permanent, vaccine-induced immunity is only temporary and a fixed time after vaccination individuals return to the susceptible class. The model is described and equilibrium and stability results are shown. There are three possible equilibria: one where the population is extinct; a disease-free equilibrium where the population is at a steady level and a unique endemic equilibrium. Simulation confirms that although Hopf bifurcation is theoretically possible for realistic parameter values the simulations approach the unique endemic equilibrium.
