Structure of the model, in which hosts can be carriers of either or both of two serotypes of colonizing bacteria. Vaccination protects hosts completely against carriage of serotype 1 (the “target” serotype) and partially, fully, or not at all against carriage of a second serotype. Hosts leave the population at a rate u per capita, shown by the unlabeled arrows.
