Abstract:
Longini and Halloran and Halloran et al. recently developed a method for estimation of parameters related to the efficacy of a vaccine and to the transmission of an infectious disease from time-to-event (disease or infection) data. This work uses their method to evaluate the individual and population effectiveness of a vaccination programme (Haber et al.). Data from an outbreak of measles in Chad illustrates the new methods.
