Table 1.

Comparison of coverage thresholds across vaccination strategies and pathogen contagiousness. For each vaccination strategy, the coverage threshold is provided as a percentage of the community, with the number of individuals vaccinated in parentheses, for (A) the mean outbreak size to affect less than 10% of the community (minimum coverage threshold) and (B) an outbreak to affect less than 10% of the community in at least 95% of the simulations (conservative coverage threshold). The table shows results for trait-based simulations using a single adult male category (M). Results were identical for simulations using this category M or three adult male categories (HM, MM, LM; see Results), except for a few instances, denoted by superscripts (*) and (**) in which simulations using HM, MM and LM categories required vaccinating one less or one more individual, respectively.
