Table 2 Parameter definitions for the Extended Model.

From: A simulation analysis to characterize the dynamics of vaccinating behaviour on contact networks

Parameter

Meaning

α

Payoff to a person who remains susceptible today

L

Payoff to a person who has acquired immunity, either through vaccine or through infection and who did not experience long-term complications from vaccine or infection

n inf

Number of infectious neighbors for an individual on a given day

m inf

Number of infectious neighbors' neighbors for an individual on a given day

λ

Probability per day of an individual becoming infected by infectious neighbors

λ perc

Perceived probability per day of an individual becoming infected by infectious neighbors

ϑ perc

Perceived probability per day of an individual becoming infected by infectious neighbors' neighbors

ρ

Probability with which an individual will vaccinate today if her/his P V > P N today

1/ι

Duration of the latent period for an infectious individual in the extended model

1/κ

Duration of the latent period for a vaccinated individual in the extended model
