00:00
Vaccines protect individuals from severe illness, but they also help establish herd immunity,
00:10
which safeguards the entire community.
00:12
Here's how it works.
00:15
Vaccines are not 100% effective, but they are a much safer way to become immune to a
00:19
wide range of diseases than getting the disease itself.
00:25
Take the seasonal flu.
00:27
In a mostly unvaccinated community, an infected person passes the virus relatively slowly,
00:32
a little more than one person at a time.
00:36
COVID-19 is more virulent.
00:39
Each person infected with the original variant spread it to two to three people at a time.
00:47
Measles is one of the most contagious diseases.
00:50
It spreads to 12 to 18 people at a time.
00:58
Herd immunity occurs when a significant portion of a population becomes immune to a disease,
01:03
reducing its spread and protecting those who are not immune, such as those who don't respond
01:09
strongly to vaccines, those too young to get vaccinated, and those who are immunocompromised.
01:15
More immunity means fewer infections and fewer spreading viruses.
01:20
Spread immunity thresholds are calculated by the contagiousness of a virus.
01:26
Twenty-three percent of the population needs to be immune to slow the spread of seasonal
01:30
flu.
01:35
Fifty to 67% need immunity to control the spread of COVID-19.
01:41
And 92 to 95% need immunity to stop the spread of measles.
01:49
Experts worry that mutations to viruses could make them even more transmissible and deadly.
01:54
Without vaccine protection, communities can be quickly overrun.
