Inducing Herd Immunity against Seasonal Influenza in Long-Term Care Facilities through Employee Vaccination Coverage: A Transmission Dynamics Model

<div>Association between influenza outbreaks defined on a continuous scale as the resident attack rate and the proportion of vaccination coverage among health care workers in all long-term care facilities in New Mexico during the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 influenza seasons. There were nine outbreaks during 2006-2007; however, one outbreak was not plotted due to missing data for HCW vaccination coverage.</div>
