Measles outbreak size ranges as function of vaccination delay, for models with basic reproduction number R0≈16 (A) and R0≈31 (B) in the same school setting with various baseline vaccination ratios (BVRs). The ranges shown are between the 95th and 50th percentiles of the outbreak size distribution as a function of vaccination delay and are calculated for each BVR indicated.
