The COVID-19 has brought about a great burden on the health and economy of the world since the end of 2019. Many scholars have proposed a prediction model for the number of confirmed cases and deaths. However, there is still a lack of research in the prediction model for mass vaccination. In this study, ANFIS-BBO is developed to predict the number of COVID-19 vaccination, and three other forecasting models, support vector machines (SVM), least-square support vector machines (LSSVM) and general regression neural network (GRNN) are employed for forecasting the same data sets. Empirical results show that the ANFIS-BBO with trapezoidal membership function model can achieve better performance than other methods and provide robust predictions for the actual number of COVID-19 mass vaccination.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jifs-231165","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,4]],"date-time":"2023-07-04T11:59:56Z","timestamp":1688471996000},"page":"4639-4650","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Optimal
