    Snippet: We first provide mathematical details on IAR calculations for the case where the population is not stratified into subgroups. If vaccine action is all-or-nothing, then IAR with fractionation n, denoted by IAR(n), is obtained by solving the equation where R 0 is the basic reproductive number, S 0 and I 0 are the initial proportion of population that are susceptible and infectious. As such, dose fractionation reduces IAR if and only if VE(n) > VE(1.....
