We derive the distribution of the number of infections among unvaccinated and vaccinated individuals for model 1 (leaky) and model 2 (all/nothing) vaccines, assuming random mixing of a homogeneous population. For all/nothing vaccines, we show that the distribution of the number of infected vaccinate
## Abstract Mixture cure models have been utilized to analyze survival data with possible cure. This paper considers the inclusion of frailty into the mixture cure model to model recurrent event data with a cure fraction. An attractive feature of the proposed model is the allowance for heterogeneit
