This paper aims to recover the susceptible people by vaccination and treat the infected people by antiviral treatment. The susceptible and infected people are moved to the recovered group with a time delay. Pontryagin's maximum principle is used to obtain the optimal control inputs and the optimal time. Numerical results are consistent with the analytical ones and corroborate our theoretical results.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
