Health experts discuss herd immunity as COVID-19 vaccinations begin
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The definition of Herd Immunity according to May Clinic: Herd immunity occurs when a large portion of a community (the herd) becomes immune to a disease, making the spread of disease from person to person unlikely. As a result, the whole community becomes protected not just those who are immune.

Dr. Christelle Ilboudo said vaccinations can play a big role in reaching herd immunity. Looking back through history there hasn t been a single pandemic that we got over without a vaccine, she said. If you think back on Polio, if you think back on Smallpox, that all of those diseases eventually required vaccination.
