Note: CDC = Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, NACI = National Advisory Committee on Immunization, R0 = basic reproduction number (epidemic potential), SAR = secondary attack rate.

*

All durations are in days; all rates are per day.

Fraction of contacts formed exclusively within group;30 0 implies random mixing between groups and 1 implies no mixing.

Leaky type: partial protection among all vaccinated, not full protection among a fraction vaccinated.

Assumed or representative.

Calculated to fit R0.1,2

**

Calculated to fit R0 = 1.5, reflecting prevaccination estimate of monkeypox virus R0 in Ontario14 using EpiNow2.10

††

Calibrated to fit about 95% incidence via sexual versus close nonsexual contacts.
