A stochastic framework to assess the optimal allocation of limited vaccine doses in foot-and-mouth disease outbreaks using game theory

This stochastic framework incorporates epidemiological data and accounts for the payoffs resulting from multiple stakeholders' choices. This approach can aid in decision-making for scarce resource allocation in contexts where individual payoffs depend on others' choices. Additionally, these findings contribute to improving preparedness for an outbreak of FMD in disease-free regions.
