About
Agent-based measles outbreak simulations across the 11 major U.S. cities hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Built on the ‘epiworldR’ and ‘measles’ R packages, and using census-derived age structure and MMR vaccination coverage, the project provides baseline scenario dashboards summarizing simulated outbreak size over time and the probability that outbreaks exceed given case-count thresholds for each host city. With large international crowds expected, the dashboard supports public-health preparedness by helping to understand measles transmission risk around the tournament.
