It’s always a bit scary when a new vaccine or medicine is released and it’s only natural we are a bit wary of it when it’s released to the public. I hope, if folks on here read reports from other members, they will feel more confident at having the vaccine themselves, which will go a long way to helping get rid of this dreaded virus.

Acording to them a 90% effective vaccine only requires 60% of the population to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity (eg measles). A 60% effective vaccine requires 100% of the population to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity.
The flu vaccine is only 30 to 50% effective and no herd immunity is ever achieved.
