Vaccination queueing system simulation
Abstract
In order to respond to different requirements in banks, airports, hospitals and other organizations, queueing models are used to help in managing and allocating of the resources. Because we live in the pandemic of COVID-19, mass vaccination is necessary for obtaining collective immunity. For mathematical modeling of the vaccination’s process, we use a queueing system as a useful tool for estimating of the capacity requirements and service time. For that purpose, we have made simulation in AnyLogic Simulation Modeling Software. In that simulation, the processes of the vaccination and revaccination are considered. Also, the capacity of queue, the capacity of system, the average waiting time in the queue and in the system are estimated.
