Herd immunity and epidemic size in networks with vaccination homophily

T Hiraoka, AK Rizi, M Kivelä, J Saramäki - Physical Review E, 2022 - APS
We study how the herd immunity threshold and the expected epidemic size depend on
homophily with respect to vaccine adoption. We find that the presence of homophily …
