Abstract
Network modelling is a useful tool for studying the transmission of H1N1 in China, capturing the main features of the spread of H1N1. The paper calculates the basic reproduction number and studies the effects of various immunization schemes. The final size relation is derived for the network epidemic model. While a uniform, mass-immunization strategy helps control the prevalence, a targeted immunization strategy focusing on specific groups with given connectivity may better control an epidemic.
