As of Monday, 31.6 percent of Americans are inoculated against coronavirus with nearly 105 million fully vaccinated The average number of daily cases has declined nearly 15 percent to fewer than 50,000 a day in a week Likely as a result of the rising vaccinations and falling caseload, daily deaths have fallen to fewer than 700 on average Daily shots have plummeted to an average of fewer than 2.5 million a day, down from the peak of nearly 3.2 million on April 11 Herd immunity was once estimated to be around 70% of the population vaccinated, but with more infectious variants emerging, experts think 80% or more of the population needs to be protected
Washington: Early in the pandemic, when vaccines for the coronavirus were still just a glimmer on the horizon, the term “herd immunity” came to signify the endgame: the point when enough Americans would be protected from the virus so we could be rid of the pathogen and reclaim our lives. Now, more than half of adults in the United States have been inoculated with at least one dose of a vaccine. But daily vaccination rates are slipping, and there is widespread consensus among scientists and public health experts that the herd immunity threshold is not attainable - at least not in the foreseeable future, and perhaps not ever.
“People were getting confused and thinking you’re never going to get the infections down until you reach this mystical level of herd immunity, whatever that number is,” Fauci said to the Times, adding this was why he had stopped using the term "herd immunity." “I’m saying: Forget that for a second. You vaccinate enough people, the infections are going to go down," he said. Harvard University epidemiologist Marc Lipsitch told the newspaper that vaccination is still the key to combatting the pandemic. A high level of immunity "is not like winning a race,” Lipsitch said. “You have to then feed it. You have to keep vaccinating to stay above that threshold.”
Story highlights Continued immunizations, especially for people at highest risk because of age, exposure or health status, will be crucial to limiting the severity of outbreaks, if not their frequency, experts believe Early in the pandemic, when vaccines for the coronavirus were still just a glimmer on the horizon, the term âherd immunityâ came to signify the endgame: the point when enough Americans would be protected from the virus so we could be rid of the pathogen and reclaim our lives. Now, more than half of adults in the United States have been inoculated with at least one dose of a vaccine. But daily vaccination rates are slipping, and there is widespread consensus among scientists and public health experts that the herd immunity threshold is not attainable â at least not in the foreseeable future, and perhaps not ever.
Tweet The NY Times reports that experts now believe we’re unlikely to reach herd immunity here in the United States. A combination of vaccine hesitancy and variants may have put that out of reach. More than half of adults in the United States have been inoculated with at least one dose of a vaccine. But daily vaccination rates are slipping, and there is widespread consensus among scientists and public health experts that the herd immunity threshold is not attainable — at least not in the foreseeable future, and perhaps not ever. Last year when we first started talking about the possibility of herd immunity, the best estimate was that we’d reach that point once 60-70% of the population had either recovered from the disease or been vaccinated. But those estimates were based on the original virus, not the variants that are now dominant in the US and elsewhere.
