PAF = p (rr-1)/rr), where p is the proportion of hesitant individuals among the not vaccinated group of individuals and rr denotes the relative risk comparing the proportion of those who are not vaccinated among the hesitant group with the proportion of those who are not vaccinated among the non-hesitant group.
