Table 3.

Weighted average computations for the basic reproduction number and vaccine effectiveness values when the proportion of infections caused by Omicron (Delta) is ω0 (1-ω0).

Group Omicron Delta Weighted average formula ωO=50% case
Basic reproduction number (R0), k{u,v,b} Students 3×6=18 6 R0(k,s)ωO=6×(1-ωO)+18×ωO R0(k,s)ωO=50%=12
Faculty 3×3.2=9.6 3.2 R0(k,f)ωO=3.2×(1-ωO)+9.6×ωO R0(k,f)ωO=50%=6.4
Vaccine effectiveness against infection (ε) Vaccinated 33% 80% εvωO=80%×(1-ωO)+33%×ωO εvωO=50%=56.5%
Boosted 69.4% 86.7% εbωO=86.7%×(1-ωO)+69.4%×ωO εbωO=50%=78.05%
Vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization (υ) Vaccinated 70% 91.7% υvωO=91.7%×(1-ωO)+70%×ωO υvωO=50%=80.85%
Boosted 93% 97.5% υbωO=97.5%×(1-ωO)+93%×ωO υbωO=50%=95.25%
