This will be an extraordinary achievement. However, to give herd immunity, its uptake will need to be high, especially since a slice of the population will not be able to have the vaccination due to age or a poor immune system or straight refusal to be vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Journal of the Medical Association of America (JAMA) has just published a viewpoint (free).
