Popis: The design of optimal vaccination campaigns using mathematical and computational models has given concrete suggestions to politicians and other ones responsible on how it should be implemented in a better way, given a certain allowed level of infected persons within the whole population. In this paper, a multiobjective impulsive control scheme in an open-loop continuous-variable dynamic optimization procedure is proposed to cope with this problem, having the NSGA-II (Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm) as an optimization machinery and the SIR (Susceptible–Infectious–Recovered) model describing the behavior of a disease in a population, extended to analyze the effects of impulsive vaccination on the population. Furthermore, a stochastic SIR model is adapted in order to calculate the probability of eradication to each non-dominated vaccination policy came from the NSGA-II, as decision criteria. The target of the analysis is to give concrete suggestions to politicians or decision-makers how optimal vaccination campaigns should be implemented, given a certain probability of eradication or an allowed level of infected persons within the whole population.
