The Low Down

This article describes a vaccination strategy that targets the so called super-spreaders. This is especially relevant this year due to the great demand for vaccines due to flu outbreaks in the western U.S. but can be used in any population where disease is spreading but there is a lack of vaccine sufficient to inoculate the entire population. The study concludes that innoculating about 20 percent of a population is sufficient to stop a disease if you can get to the right people.
