Main input parameter values for Greater Vancouver Area (GVA) contact network model.

HI = hemagglutination inhibition assay; SPR = Sero-protection rate – defined as the proportion (%) considered sero-protected on the basis of having met or exceeded the specified antibody titre threshold.
pre-H1N1pdm09: 2009 H1N1 pandemic virus; SPR based on PRE-pandemic antibody levels in 2009 or earlier.
post-H1N1pdm09: 2009 H1N1 pandemic virus; SPR based on POST-pandemic antibody levels fall 2010.
H3N2v: swine-origin H3N2 variant strain; SPR based on antibody levels in fall 2010.
post-Brisbane: a seasonal human influenza H3N2 virus; SPR based on antibody levels fall 2010.

bThe same typical seasonal influenza parameter values were applied to each of the three influenza viruses assessed, recognizing their human influenza virus ancestral origins.
cBased on 100% SPR defined at HI titre ≥40; dBased on 50%SPR defined at HI titre ≥40; e100%SPR defined at HI titre ≥80.
Note that a blended composite of sero-protection based on a gradient of immunity defined as ¼SPR20, ½SPR40, ¾SPR80 and 100% SPR160 was also explored (see Table S1 and narrative).
