Abstract
⺠We develop a discrete-event simulation model to represent vaccine distribution in Thailand. ⺠We model the distribution of influenza vaccines through the routine immunization program. ⺠We vary vaccine target population sizes and time-frames for vaccine distribution. ⺠Larger target population sizes create supply chain bottlenecks and reduce vaccine availability. ⺠Increasing distribution time-frames alleviate bottlenecks and improved vaccine availability.
