Variants

Edit the text areas to change the time the vaccinations are performed and the number of individuals vaccinated.

Related behaviours

Schedule non-targeted vaccination does not target the highly connected individuals.

How this works

This sorts the entire population by the number of acquaintances and adds the Intervention behaviours to the first number-vaccinated.

History

This was implemented by Ken Kahn on 3 February 2011.
