Vaczine

Vaczine is a digital simulator of the use of vaccines in a population and is free to use.

Vaczine works under the following rules:

1. The program creates a population of people that includes infants, children, youth, adults, and the elderly.

2. Each person moves freely on the screen interacting with the others.

3. Each person can be in five different states: healthy without vaccination, healthy vaccinated, sick, cured and dead.

4. A sick person can infect another (not immunized) by contact.

5. Vaccinated people are immune to infection.

6. After a while, sick people are cured or die.

7. People who are cured are also immune to the disease.

8. Parameters such as percentage of vaccinated people (coverage), infectivity and mortality of the disease can be configured. Before each simulation.

Since the program is written in java, it can run on almost any platform, such as Windows, Linux, and MacOS. There is also a version for Android that will soon be available in the Google® Play Store.

Vaczine is under the GNU General Public License. This means that Vaczine can be freely used, distributed and modified.

This program was created for educational purposes in order to illustrate the effect of vaccination in the prevention of infectious contagious diseases at the population level.

This program is based on the engine of a previous program called Evoluzion® which is a genetics and evolution simulator.
