**5. Conclusion**

In this work, a sequence of new iteration schemes for solving nonlinear differential equations is used to solve the SIR epidemic model with constant vaccination strategy. The proposed iteration schemes are derived as an extension to the quasi-linearization method to obtain hybrid iteration schemes which converge very rapidly. The accuracy and validity of the proposed schemes is confirmed by comparing with the ode45 MATLAB routine for solving initial value problems. It is hoped that the proposed method of solution will spawn further interest in computational analysis of differential equations in epidemiology and other areas of science.
