Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Our study has several limitations, First, our results may not be fully generalizable to other carceral settings. The impacts of infection introduction on incarcerated populations depend in part on how likely prisons are to detect outbreaks and take measures to isolate and quarantine. Our results are based on modeling of widespread testing as practiced in California’s prisons during 2020-21. However, in settings where screening and testing are less intensive, the risk and size of outbreaks are likely to be larger than our estimates. Although we modeled a range of prison types, incarcerated populations, and levels of prior immunity, outcomes in individual prisons could differ if their housing configurations or demographics diverge substantially from those modeled. Second, while we considered variant scenarios that broadly represent variants like B.1.1.7 along with scenarios considering introduction of wild type variants, other variants are currently circulating globally, and new variants are emerging even as the scientific community works to keep pace in characterizing them epidemiologically (12,15). Some variants may be able to completely evade natural immunity from prior wild type infection; although we did not model these explicitly, we did model equivalent scenarios with 0% baseline immunity. However, variants that are simultaneously able to avoid vaccine-induced immunity and much more likely to cause severe outcomes, though not yet detected, would require further evaluatio...
