Abbreviations: Min-max, minimum to maximum; NA, not applicable.

a

Secondary attack rate is the number of new cases among contacts divided by the total number of contacts.

b

Includes household transmission of students and household child contacts.

c

Number of individuals exposed to child or adult isolated or index cases. Individuals were only counted once for an exposure to an index case; exposures to other secondary cases within the same classroom or household were not counted again.

d

Minimum definite cases and maximum cases, including possible cases that could not be determined with certainty because of multiple exposures or matching onset dates, including (1) cases meeting the definition of an index case but for which secondary cases all had an additional exposure outside of the classroom or household or (2) cases meeting the definition of a secondary case but with an exposure outside of the classroom or household.
