Abstract
Vaccines can produce different kinds of effects, which can be at subject level or at population level. Halloran, Struchiner and Longini present a theoretical framework for vaccine effects and designs of vaccine field efficacy trials for the estimation of these effects [46, 47]. The nomenclature here has been taken from Chap. 2 of their book on vaccine efficacy studies [48].
