Abstract
This study explores the social and economic impacts of public health interventions against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. The emergence of the pandemic has highlighted the critical importance of effective public health measures in safeguarding society’s well-being. With a focus on statistical learning techniques, this research examines the effects of interventions such as vaccination programs, tobacco regulations, and obesity reduction initiatives. Through a comprehensive literature review and data analysis of childhood vaccination programs in the United States, the study reveals significant benefits in terms of disease prevention, improved health outcomes, and reduced healthcare costs. The case study of San Francisco further demonstrates the success of vaccination campaigns in controlling preventable diseases. Based on these findings, policy recommendations are provided, emphasizing the integration of multiple intervention approaches, the prioritization of vulnerable populations, and the implementation of awareness campaigns and educational programs.
