• Abstract summary: SARS-CoV-2 strain of B1.1.529 or Omicron spreading around the globe. Concerns that it will not end soon and that it will be a race against time until a more contagious and virulent variant emerges. One of the most promising approaches for preventing virus propagation is to maintain continuous high vaccination efficacy.

• Abstract: With the present highly infectious dominant SARS-CoV-2 strain of B1.1.529 or Omicron spreading around the globe, there is concern that the COVID-19 pandemic will not end soon and that it will be a race against time until a more contagious and virulent variant emerges. One of the most promising approaches for preventing virus propagation is to maintain continuous high vaccination efficacy among the population, thereby strengthening the population protective effect and preventing the majority of infection in the vaccinated population, as is known to occur with the Omicron variant frequently. Countries must structure vaccination programs in accordance with their populations' susceptibility to infection, optimizing vaccination efforts by delivering vaccines progressively enough to protect the majority of the population. We present a feasibility study proposal for maintaining optimal continuous vaccination by assessing the susceptible population, the decline of vaccine efficacy in the population, and advising booster dosage deployment to maintain the population's protective efficacy through the use of a predictive model. Numerous studies have been conducted in the direction of analyzing vaccine utilization; however, very little study has been conducted to substantiate the optimal deployment of booster dosage vaccination with the help of a predictive model based on machine learning algorithms.

  Vaccine supply chain optimization can benefit from hierarchical time series forecasting. Forecasts of different hierarchy levels become incoherent when higher levels do not match the sum of the lower levels forecasts. We tackle the vaccine sale forecasting problem by modeling sales data from GSK between 2010 and 2021 as a hierarchical time series.

  Early on during a pandemic, vaccine availability is limited, requiring prioritisation of different population groups. We develop a model to retrospectively evaluate age-dependent counterfactual vaccine allocation strategies against the COVID-19 pandemic. We compare Israel's implemented vaccine allocation strategy in 2021 to counterfactual strategies such as no prioritisation, prioritisation of younger age groups or a strict risk-ranked approach.

  With large variabilities and different co-factors, it is difficult to use conventional mathematical models to forecast the incidence of COVID-19. Data acquired from regions with high rates of vaccination, such as Israel, were blended with the current data of other regions in Japan to factor in the potential effects of vaccination. Using the extracted parameters regarding vaccination effectiveness, new cases in three prefectures of Japan were replicated.

Instructed by these results, we performed an extensive study on the temporal evolution of the pandemic under varying values of roll-out daily rates, vaccine efficacy, and a broad range of societal vaccine hesitancy/denial levels.
