With vaccination programs (slowly) rolling out, lack of supply is one of the biggest hurdles we’re facing against herd immunity (via nolisoliph)
For herd immunity, the magic number is 70. According to the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, at least 70 percent of the population needs to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to achieve herd immunity.
If you’re curious to see how the country is currently faring, timetoherd.com has collected vaccination data from all over the world and turned it into an interactive site that breaks down the time it’ll take for us to reach herd immunity status. As of today, it’s going to take 4,292 days until the country vaccinates enough people for most of us to go mask-free. It also says that only 0.83 percent of the entire population has been vaccinated so far, with 0.03 percent of us being vaccinated daily. The numbers on that site can change for the better if our rate of daily vaccinations go up. But then again, that’s kind of a shot at the moon as of the moment.
