Table 3 Measures indicating the size of the task of eliminating measles in the Italian regions. Estimates for basic reproduction numbers (R 0) and critical age zero routine vaccination coverages (p c ) for measles elimination in the Italian regions. Results in column pairs correspond to different assumptions on contact patterns. (NA = contact matrix non admissible; * = contact matrix admissible only after FOI redefined on adult age group; N = North, C = Centre, S = South.)
