Abstract
We analyze the effect of immunization by vaccination on deterministic models for epidemic spreading. We use an approach to vaccination in which the number of individuals that acquire immunization by vaccination is considered to be a given function of time. For the susceptible–infected–susceptible model, if the fraction of individuals that in the long term have been vaccinated is larger than a certain value then the disease becomes extinct. For the susceptible–infected–removed model, the effect of vaccination is the flattening of the epidemic curve.
