Abstract
Carrying capacity plays an important role in the research area as it determines the maximum capacity of the system. In epidemiology, vaccine is an efficient control strategy that affects the carrying capacity of health infrastructures. In this study, the sitution of COVID-19 disease in North Cyprus is examined. With the data of country carrying capacity is calculated and compared with different percentage of vaccines to see what should be done for taking the disease under control in the country. The results showed that vaccination should be applied to individuals briskly to reach the herd immunity threshold which should be at least 85% in North Cyprus.
