description BACKGROUND: We aimed to forecast possible situations of the COVID‐19 spreading for Okinawa Prefecture in Japan. METHODS: The VSIIR model is proposed to extend the SIIR model to include vaccine effects where the parameter [Formula: see text] denotes the vaccination rate and is treated as a control parameter on which possible situations for Okinawa would depend. RESULTS: It is shown that the infection ends without spreading if [Formula: see text] is satisfied where [Formula: see text] refers to the antibody duration, [Formula: see text] for infection and [Formula: see text] for vaccination, respectively. CONCLUSION: It is important to set a vaccination policy that can save lives and maintain daily life at the same time.
