A top health expert says that he doesn’t know that this country will achieve herd immunity within the next couple of months. According to the World Health Organization, “‘herd immunity,’ also known as ‘population immunity,’ is a concept used for vaccination, in which a population can be protected from a certain virus if a threshold of vaccination is reached.”
According to Dr. Francis Collins, who is the director for the National Institutes of Health, there are still a number of people who would need to be convinced to get the vaccine by “trustworthy voices.”
“This concern about [the vaccines] having been rushed can be answered by pointing out how the speed was achieved, which was by basically getting rid of the downtimes that traditionally occur when a vaccine is being developed and results in it taking [years].”
