The structure and dynamics of multilayer networks (2014, methodology): “To resolve this dilemma, game theory has been integrated into individual decisionmaking processes, where nodes hold the prevention strategy according to risk and expenses in the epidemic campaign [277].”
Modelling dynamical processes in complex socio-technical systems (2011, background): “Similar issues arise in many areas where we find competing processes of adaptation and awareness to information or knowledge spreading in a population 111 .”
Statistical physics of vaccination (2016, background): “Like the public goods dilemma [508–510], voluntary vaccination is often regarded as a problem of the commons [416].”

Analysis and Control of Epidemics: A Survey of Spreading Processes on Complex Networks (2015, background): “In addition to the models presented in this article, it is worth mentioning that many works present the same types of models from a game-theoretic perspective [130], [131], [163]–[165].”
Imitation dynamics of vaccination behaviour on social networks (2011, background): “…studies of vaccinating dynamics have typically combined a game-theoretic model assuming full rationality and complete information with a model of disease transmission in ei-25 ther homogeneously mixed populations (Bauch et al. 2003, Bauch & Earn 2004) or random net-26 works (Perisic & Bauch 2008).”
Large-Population LQG Games Involving a Major Player: The Nash Certainty Equivalence Principle (2009, background): “Such an interaction pattern may be modeled by mean field coupling, and it has naturally arisen in economics, engineering, and public health research [25, 10, 19, 5, 6].”
Coupled disease–behavior dynamics on complex networks: A review (2015, background): “Game theory has been extensively used in the study of behavior epidemiology, where individuals are usually assumed to decide vaccination or not based on the principle of maximizing self-interest [9,175].”
Opportunities and challenges of Web 2.0 for vaccination decisions. (2012, background): “Further, individuals also benefit when others get vaccinated and herd-immunity increases, which makes free-riding attractive [46].”
"Herd immunity": a rough guide. (2011, background): “Exploring this idea, vaccine choices can be considered using tools from mathematical game theory [30, 31], which show that when coverage is close to Vc , or when vaccination is perceived to carry a risk similar to or greater than the infection, the incentive for a logical individual to receive a vac”
