摘要：
The new influenza A virus H1N1-pdm is spreading all over the world, including Japan. Since most people are not immunized against this new influenza virus, it is spreading very quickly. Currently, we have two options for the prevention of this disease, i. e., vaccination and antiviral drugs. Of these, vaccination is the best means of mass protection. However, the current system of vaccine production places limits on the number of units and the preparation time. To understand "the most efficient mass protection," we simulated the spread of influenza by using the cellular abstract rewriting system on multisets (CARMS). © ISAROB 2011.
