Mumps is a contagious childhood disease. A vaccine has been widely available for several decades now, leading to a dramatic decline in the incidence of the disease. Data from the CDC show that vaccination coverage against the mumps virus is now about 90%.

Here are some estimates of the transmission parameters for the mumps virus:
gamma= 0.08
beta= 0.45    
R0 =5.6

a) What is the meaning of R0 in this disease model?

b) What fraction of the population should be vaccinated in order to prevent the spread of the disease? (explain)

c) Sometimes vaccines are not 100% effective. A single dose of the MMR vaccine is only about 90% effective. How does that change your estimate for the fraction of the population that should be vaccinated?
