Our modeling results highlight the success of the vaccination campaigns in rapidly curbing transmission and emphasize the public health importance of maintaining high levels of vaccination in this population, where high birth rates and historically low vaccination coverage rates create suitable conditions for future measles outbreaks. The transmission coefficient, β, was estimated according to the relationship β = R0/N D, where N is the total 93 population (i.e., S + I + R) and D is the average duration of infectiousness ( The model uses one infected case as the initial value for the number of individuals in the infected compartment, I(0). 114 For this analysis, the SIR model was run for two years to estimate the impact of vaccination on the next outbreak. ./cache/cord-103995-vok1dni9.txt ./txt/cord-103995-vok1dni9.txt
