This work focused on studying the effect of vaccination rate κ on reducing the outbreak of infectious diseases, especially if the infected individuals do not have any symptoms. We employed the fractional order derivative in this study since it has a high degree of accuracy. Recently, a lot of scientists have been interested in fractional-order models. It is considered a modern direction in the mathematical modeling of epidemiology systems. Therefore, a fractional order of the SEIR epidemic model with two types of infected groups and vaccination strategy was formulated and investigated in this paper. The proposed model includes the following classes: susceptible S ( t ), exposed E ( t ), asymptomatic infected I c ( t ), symptomatic infected I η ( t ), vaccinated V ( t ), and recovered R ( t ). We began our study by creating the existence, non-negativity, and boundedness of the solutions of the proposed model. Moreover, we established the basic reproduction number R 0 , that was used to examine the existence and stability of the equilibrium points for the presented model. By creating appropriate Lyapunov functions, we proved the global stability of the free-disease equilibrium point and endemic equilibrium point. We concluded that the free-disease equilibrium point is globally asymptotically stable (GAS) when R 0 1, while the endemic equilibrium point is GAS if R 0 > 1. Therefore, we indicated the increasing vaccination rate κ leads to reducing R 0 . These findings confirm the important role of vaccination rate κ in fighting the spread of infectious diseases. Moreover, the numerical simulations were introduced to validate theoretical results that are given in this work by applying the predictor-corrector PECE method of Adams-Bashforth-Moulton. Further more, the impact of the vaccination rate κ was explored numerically and we found that, as κ increases, the R 0 is decreased. This means the vaccine can be useful in reducing the spread of infectious diseases.
