Our calculations thus incorporate (i) a state-appropriate population distribution (ii) contact structures appropriate to India (iii) benchmarked numbers from the INDSCI-SIM model for the first wave (iv) extrapolated seroprevalence numbers from the ICMR serosurvey (v) the protective effects of one and two vaccine doses and (vi) the protective effects of a prior infection. This is the most detailed compartmental model currently available for COVID-19 in India.
The model can be improved as more data is available.
