In an epidemic model, the basic reproduction number is , where is the transmission rate, is the population size, and is the recovery rate. If a vaccine is introduced that is effective (i.e., it immunizes of those vaccinated), and the disease has parameters days and days, what is the minimum proportion of the population that must be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity?
