VADEMOS Overview
What is VADEMOS?
VADEMOS (Vaccine Demand Estimation Model for Foot-and-Mouth Disease - FMD) is a decision-support tool designed to estimate current and future vaccine dose demand at national and regional levels. The model helps bridge the gap between vaccine demand and vaccine production/supply in FMD-endemic countries.
Key Features:
- Uses AutoEnsemble forecasting models to predict livestock populations.
- Estimates prophylactic vaccination needs based on PCP-FMD stage and species-specific vaccination schedules.
- Provides emergency vaccination estimates using density data and user-defined outbreak radius.
- Interactive web application with data visualization, mapping, and reporting capabilities.
