In this video about herd immunity, Amitha Balachandra is in conversation with Prof. Dileep Mavlankar, Director of the Indian Institute of Public Health in Gandhinagar.
Herd immunity is when the fraction of people who are immune to disease is high enough, outbreaks will – in general – begin to die away.
Prof. Mavlankar talks about the history of herd immunity and what we can expect for coronavirus. This comes after PM Modi recently announced that the COVID-19 vaccine could be ready in a few weeks.
