TABLE 1.

Summary of the all-or-none and leaky vaccine models and the assumptions for the ecological vaccine model. N is the total population; x denotes the proportion of the population vaccinated (assumed constant over time); ϕ is the vaccine effect on susceptibility; Sut and Svt denote the number of unvaccinated and vaccinated susceptibles at time t; Yut and Yvt denote new cases in time t among unvaccinated and vaccinated; and λt is a generic force of infection
