How Is Vaccine Effectiveness Scaled by the Transmission Dynamics of Interacting Pathogen Strains with Cross-Protective Immunity?

BACKGROUND: Many novel vaccines can cover only a fraction of all antigenic types of a pathogen. Vaccine effectiveness (VE) in the presence of interactions between vaccine strains and others is complicated by the interacting transmission dynamics among all strains. The present study investigated how...
