AS Biology Immunity and Vaccination - it must be possible to vaccinate the vast majority of the vulnerable population to produce herd immunity. What is herd immunity? This arises when a sufficiently large proportion of the population has been vaccinated. This makes it very difficult for a pathogen to spread within the population, ultimately stopping it. The percentage of the population needed to be vaccinated in order to achieve herd immunity is roughly 80%. Why can't everybody in a population be vaccinated? Babies and very young children cannot be vaccinated because there immune systems are not yet fully functional.

Why a few unvaccinated children are an even bigger threat than you think This means that to achieve 95 percent immunity in the population for measles, vaccination coverage needs to be higher than 95 percent. This is the scientific argument for a public health policy that aims at 100 percent vaccination coverage. More importantly, there is an ethical argument to be made for the goal of 100 percent vaccination coverage.
