In his opinion, the COVID-19 immunization campaign should not be built around the idea of achieving herd immunity.
The “Delta” strain “will continue to infect people who have been vaccinated, and this really means that anyone who has not yet been vaccinated can contract the virus at any time,” Pollard said.
According to him, while vaccines can “slow down” the transmission of the coronavirus, but not completely stop its spread.
Pollard admitted that there could be a strain of coronavirus “which is probably even better transmitted among vaccinated people.”
An outbreak of coronavirus infection began at the end of 2019 in China. 11 March 2020 World Health Organization declared the spread of coronavirus a pandemic.
WHO warned that the strain of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 “Delta” becomes dominant in the world due to its high ability to be transmitted from person to person. According to WHO, the Delta coronavirus strain recorded already in 132 countries.
The organization noted that the only the path to herd immunity from COVID-19 is vaccination.
