Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:The model is subject to several limitations especially when predicting over a long time-frame (Berger et al., 2021), only some of which are accounted for through the uncertainty ranges allowed around calibration parameter values. In particular, it is impossible to predict the extent to which NPIs will be maintained, which is dependent on societal and economic considerations in addition to health concerns. Our assumption that case …

In particular, it is impossible to predict the extent to which NPIs will be maintained, which is dependent on societal and economic considerations in addition to health concerns. Our assumption that case detection rate scales with testing numbers does not capture the likely decrease in the efficiency of case ascertainment and contact tracing that likely occurs as incidence increases. The inclusion of VoC remains an assumption as described above. Our stratification by vaccination status does not include explicit states to differentiate between those who have received one or two doses of a two-dose regimen. Therefore, we could not consider the policy alternatives of maximising coverage with a single dose versus ensuring more people complete the full two-dose course. We did not simulate past vaccination roll-out because we assumed that vaccination has had a negligible effect to-date, given that only 3.8% of the targeted population have received both vaccine doses while 6.7% have received a single dose as of 24th May, 2021 (JKJAV Malaysia @ Twitter, 2021). Although the second dose of BioNTech-Pfizer appears to result in ∼15% increase in effectiveness (Public Health England, 2021), insufficient data are currently available to compare the effectiveness bet...
