A game dynamic model for vaccine skeptics and vaccine believers: Measles as an example

► We proposed a game-theoretic model of measles transmission. ► The impact of perceived vaccine risks on the vaccine uptake was examined. ► The vaccination levels driven by self-interest may be suboptimal for a population. ► Measles vaccine uptake is highly dependent on the number of vaccine skeptics. ► Education about the vaccine safety is required to maintain herd immunity.
