Efficiency and simulation of Thailand's Chiang Mai University Model for COVID-19 mass vaccination hub (CMU-MVH model).

Background: Mass vaccination is crucial for achieving herd immunity and controlling pandemics. Simulation models predict vaccination outcomes. This study evaluates efficiency and designs a tailored vaccination plan for Thailand.

A review of applications of operational research in healthcare coordination in disaster management.
