The vaccine behavior strategy doesn't seem to be working. Following the FRED user guide (2013), I included the following lines in the parameter file but it doesn't seem to activate:
TEST VACCINE ACCEPTANCE BEHAVIOR --- here, only 5% accept vaccine
accept_vaccine_enabled = 1
accept_vaccine_for_child_enabled = 1
accept_vaccine_strategy_distribution = 7 95 5 0 0 0 0 0
accept_vaccine_for_child_strategy_distribution = 7 95 5 0 0 0 0 0
Another method for controlling vaccine acceptance (VAC.transition_probability[Avail][Receive] = 0.5) allows each agent to make a choice at the time a vaccine is presented, but then later in the simulation the agent can make a different choice, is that correct? (if yes, then the behavior strategy is the one I'm trying to implement, for agents who all always refuse or always accept a vaccine when presented)
I'm also not sure how to implement the vaccination_capacity-0.txt. How should it be called from the parameter file? I had simply tried 'include vaccination_capacity-0.txt'
