The purpose of the Infectious Disease Simulation Project was to achieve an understanding of how an infection propagates through a population by running simulations under a variety of different conditions using object-oriented programming constructs in C++. The effect that varying a combination of vaccination rate, infection rate, method of contact had on the spread of an infection over fixed population sizes was an important objective in the study.  In addition, the concept of Herd Immunity, a condition where healthy and unvaccinated members of a population avoid contracting the disease during its progression, was studied.
