Low season MDA means three months before the peak of the season. “Vaccine” refers to a pre-erythrocytic vaccine six weeks before the seasonal peak, “mod” and “high” refer to a moderate or high efficacy vaccine, and annual and triennial vaccines have one and three year half-lives respectively. There is a three month high season, and interventions are at 80% coverage except the high efficacy vaccine which is 90%.
