What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

    Measured: between outbreak and non-outbreak weeks

  2. Herd Community - To compare unvaccinated children in the target schools to the children in the control schools with respect to changes in absentee rates between outbreak weeks and non-outbreak weeks.

    Measured: between outbreak and non-outbreak weeks
