Interpreting Breakthrough Infections Given Assortative Mixing of Partially Vaccinated Populations

2026-01-23

Abstract excerpt

Declining vaccine coverage across the United States has increased the risk of outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. Even when vaccines have low primary failure rates, conventional epidemic theory predicts a strongly nonlinear, positive relationship between vaccine coverage and the fraction of breakthrough infections in vaccinated individuals. These breakthrough infections may generate misconceptions that vacc...
