Abstract

The aim of this paper is to construct a non-standard finite difference (NSFD) scheme that can be used to calculate numerical solutions for an epidemic model with vaccination. Here, the NSFD method is employed to derive a set of difference equations for the epidemic model with vaccination. We show that when,h < h0 the discretized model preserves positivity and global dynamics of the continuous model. Numerical simulation illustrates the effectiveness of our results.
