Time delay of the appearance of a new strain can affect vaccination behavior and disease dynamics: An evolutionary explanation

The emergence of a novel strain during a pandemic, like the current COVID-19, is a major concern to the healthcare system. The most effective strategy to control this type of pandemic is vaccination....
