Abbreviation: MSM, men who have sex with men.
aParameters with a range were included in the Latin hypercube sampling.
bThe total number of days a mpox case is infectious is the sum of the days being infectious not in sexual abstinence and the days being infectious in abstinence.
cBased on assumption that MSM are sexually active approximately for 50 y.
dData from the national database of notifiable infectious diseases of the Netherlands [7].
eThe vaccination rate is for uninfected and for exposed individuals of activity group i. Range of values shown is for fairly high and very high sexual activity groups, from 7 June 2022, chosen such that the weekly number of vaccinations was 0.5-1.5 times the weekly number of cases, assuming that in this period approximately 1 contact of each diagnosed case was vaccinated. The vaccination rate for the low activity groups was zero throughout the calculations.
