What is it about?
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented a significant public health and economic challenges worldwide. Vaccination and social restrictions are applied in many countries to control the virus spread. To shed light on the impact of vaccination and social mobilization policies during this wide-ranging crisis, this paper applies a system dynamics analysis considering vaccination, economic, and social subsystems. The real case study in the United States is used. Through advanced simulation, the impact of vaccination and social restriction growth can be quantitatively measured on the Total Infection, Total Death, Transmission Rate, Unemployed People, Government Expenditure, Total Recovered People, and Total Immuned People. The findings are expected to help decisions and mitigation efforts throughout this pandemic and beyond.

Why is it important?
This study is novel in assessing the COVID-19 transmission since it considers social, economic, and vaccination subsystems as a single comprehensive framework. Furthermore, the policy design considered is isolation and vaccine supply which are done in many countries to control the spread of the virus.
Perspectives
Once you read this paper, it gives essential insights on how vaccination and social restriction affect Total Infection, Total Death, Transmission Rate, Unemployed People, Government Expenditure, Total Recovered People, and Total Immuned People quantitatively. This will help the government to create a more-informed policy.
