In this paper we find common features between the equations that are used forpandemic or epidemic modeling and the renormalization group equations that areused in high energy physics. Some of these features include the relation ofcontact matrices in pandemic modeling and operator mixing in therenormalization group equations. Another common feature are the use of flowdiagrams and the study of fixed points both in pandemic modeling and inevolution under renormalization group equations. We illustrate these relationsthrough the study of some cases of interest to the current COVID-19 pandemic.These include pandemic modeling with mixing between different age groups andalso contact matrices associated with contact between countries. For the finalexample we study the effect on mortality of waning from nonspecific vaccineswhich are designed to combat different pathogens but nevertheless may lessenthe severity and mortality of COVID-19 infections.
