Important features include:

• Multi-node network used to represent regions of the Democratic Republic of the Congo at the 10km scale.

• Network infectivity contagion transfer between nodes.

• Spatially and temporally varying rates of routine immunization.

• Acquisition-transmission covariance.

• Pre-specified calendar of supplemental immunization activities (SIAs).

• Maternally derived immunity.

• Overdispersion of the infection rate.

• Maximum simulation duration based on elapsed time.

• Weighted agents to represent multiple individuals per agent.

• Age-based immunity initialization to approximate endemic transmission.

• Infectivity reservoir to represent persistent exogeneous importation.
