The audience for the paper is assumed to be practitioners and economic analysts (benefit‐cost and cost‐effectiveness) at research institutions as well as various local, state and federal agencies charged either directly or indirectly with protecting health and minimizing the economic disruption of a major infectious disease outbreak.
