Estimating Vaccine Coverage by Using Computer Algebra

(Doris Altmann, Klaus Altmann)


Many children are given the MMR (measles,mumps,rubella) multivalent vaccination at a fixed age.

Denote these diseases by 1, 2 resp. 3.

There are no statistics about the vaccination. But one can obtain information about the rates of being seropositive with each of the three diseases. Fixing the age, we are interested in the (proportional) part v of the children, who received the multivalent vaccine (MMR coverage).
