Description
Heydarpour, Mokhtari, and Dehnavi modeled vaccine supply networks with many products and storage needs in a 2026 study. Vaccines differ in dose schedules and cold demands, from ordinary fridges to ultra-cold freezers. Their math model places distribution centers, assigns vaccines, and sets storage across three tiers, aiming for no shortages at injection sites.
A tailored genetic search solved large cases nearly as well as exact methods that are far slower. Planning many vaccines together, rather than one campaign at a time, matches how real programs run year-round. The model can help health ministries place cold storage where it prevents the most missed vaccinations.
