The graph shows that as $R_0$ rises, the proportional of the population that must be vaccinated rises very quickly. Measles can be used as an example for showing the equation in use, as the $R_0$ value for measles is widely accepted as accurate.
The accepted value for $R_0$ of measles is 15. The calculation using this value follows:
\begin{equation}
P_{critical} =
1-\frac{1}{$R_0$} 1-\frac{1}{R_0} = 93\%
\end{equation}
This shows that for diseases with a high $R_0$ value, the critical proportion of the population is very high, so high that it would be considered impossible in countries that are less economically developed.
