Why is it necessary to know if we have reached group immunity or what is called herd immunity?
Reaching this immunity means that society has built a wall against the virus.
Thus, this community does not need the vaccine now, because the vaccine aims to reach this stage. Group immunity is not only to protect the person himself, but to protect his mother, father, brothers or friends and many people who cannot take the vaccine for some reason. Access to group immunity means the return to life completely normal without fear or anxiety of the outbreak of the epidemic in a dangerous way threatening the lives of vulnerable groups .
