According to Dr Kumar, it is unknown what percentage of the populace needs to receive the Covid-19 vaccine (and booster) before herd immunity can start to develop. Dr Kulkarni added that “though the numbers show a decline in India, with the surge of covid cases world wide especially in China, Korea, Japan and USA, we need to be alert”. “This reduction could be attributed to decrease in virulence of the current covid strain, increased vaccination, decrease in testing and development of herd immunity,” Dr Kulkarni said. Currently, China is facing challenges with herd immunity due to prolonged lockdowns and questions about the efficacy of vaccines, which have both contributed to its decrease, Dr Sabnis said.
