4. Social epidemiology of a large outbreak of chickenpox in the Colombian sugar cane producer region: a set theory-based analysis
There are few social epidemiologic studies on chickenpox outbreaks, although previous findings suggested the important role of social determinants. This study describes the context of a large outbreak of chickenpox in the Cauca Valley region, Colombia (2003 to 2007), with an emphasis on macro-determinants.

Static models do not take into account the indirect effects of vaccination, thus compromising the overall assessment of vaccination benefits. This work developed two models one dynamic and another static to conduct cost-effectivene
