Sufficient reproduction numbers to prevent recurrent epidemics

2024-02-17

Abstract excerpt

Current practice in the design and evaluation of epidemic control measures, including vaccination, is largely based on reproduction numbers (RNs), which represent prognostic indexes of long-term disease transmission, both in naive populations (basic RN) and in the presence of prior exposure or interventions (effective RN). A standard control objective is to establish herd immunity, e.g., by immunizing enough susce...
