The degree of prosociality during the 2013 OPV vaccination campaign estimated from the game-theory model and results from the survey*

We assumed a vaccine efficacy of 63%, 94% of the population is eligible for vaccination, the perceived basic reproductive number to be 2.24, the relative risk for an unaware individuals to be ∼2.14 × 10−4, the relative risk for an aware individual to be 0.001, and evaluating the probability of infection as R0(1 − εν)1/γ/(R0+(1 − εν)1/γ).

The percentage of the eligible population that is prosocial for the different sociocultural groups was estimated based on the assumption that unaware individuals were ∼1.22 times more likely to vaccinate than an aware individual (SI Appendix, Validation). Since 94% of the population was assumed eligible for vaccination (i.e., ω = 0.94), ωαρ represents the proportion of prosocials reported in the survey.
