What vaccination rate is needed to effectively contain outbreaks of diseases with varying levels of contagiousness?

To contain outbreaks of diseases with contagiousness similar to the flu, vaccination rates above 40 percent are necessary. For more contagious diseases, like a hypothetical disease used in a simulation, this threshold rises to around 60 percent. Uneven vaccination distribution, even with a high average, leaves some communities vulnerable.

How do the funding cuts affect public health initiatives beyond COVID-19 vaccination?

The funding cuts, justified by the claim that the COVID-19 pandemic is over, ignore the continued use of these funds for other critical public health initiatives. The consequences extend beyond immunization, impacting health education, community outreach, and trust in public health agencies. This is particularly concerning given a resurgence of measles and rising vaccine hesitancy.
