Effects of vaccination on the probability and attack rate of a major epidemic in the mass-action model from Section 4.1. Vaccinating subpopulation A, the most infectious and least susceptible, is optimal for reducing the probability. Vaccinating subpopulation C, the most susceptible and least infectious, is optimal for reducing the attack rate. Vaccinating subpopulation B, of average infectiousness and susceptibility, is nearly optimal for both.
