There has been enormous progress in parameterizing epidemic models using incidence data in the 20 years since the Newton meeting on Epidemic models. This came about through a combination of computational innovations, model development to embrace critical biological realism, and increasingly resolved incidence data with respect to age, time and space. I will highlight what I think are key challenges to data-driven epidemic modeling to advice future intervention policies. Some critical issues are (i) robust forecasting in the face of rapidly changing demographies and vaccination schedules; (ii) probabilistically projecting possible/probable build-up of susceptible pockets in the face of imperfect vaccination programs; and (iii) use nonlinear stochastic modeling to identify all potentially undesirable side-effects of intervention-induced reduction in circulation.
