This study investigates the sensitivity of parameters related to tuberculosis (TB). A proposed model is formulated based on a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, and hence a theoretical analysis of the model is conducted. The model is divided into six compartmental classes: susceptible, vaccinated, population which has high risk to become infection by (TB), population which has low risk to become infection by (TB), infectious, recovery individuals.
The Next Generation Matrix (NGM) method is employed to calculate the basic reproduction number, which appeared as a form in several parameters, a sensitivity analysis is conducted to identify the parameters that significantly influence.
