Herd immunity ‘not an option’

New Delhi, July 30

The government today made it clear that India would have to wait to acquire herd immunity through Covid vaccination and could not look at herd immunity through mass infections as a strategic option or a choice.

OSD to Health Ministry Rajesh Bhushan said herd immunity through the non-vaccination route in which large population has to be infected to become immune to the virus cannot be an option for a country of the size and population of India as it would involve a huge disease and death burden. — TNS
