English term or phrase: herd immunity
Definition from Infection Control and Epidemiology:
Herd immunity (or community immunity) occurs when a high percentage of the community is immune to a disease (through vaccination and/or prior illness), making the spread of this disease from person to person unlikely. Even individuals not vaccinated (such as newborns and the immunocompromised) are offered some protection because the disease has little opportunity to spread within the community.

Example sentence(s):
  • Here's Why Herd Immunity Won't Save Us From The COVID-19 Pandemic Science Alert
  • U.K.’s Boris Johnson, who initially advocated herd immunity, becomes symbol of the strategy’s danger Fortune
  • Stanford Medicine Investigating California's Possible Herd Immunity To Coronavirus Alt105.3

immunitat de grup


Definition from TERMCAT:
Immunitat específica d'un nombre prou gran de persones d'una comunitat, que disminueix el risc de contagi entre les persones susceptibles.

Example sentence(s):
  • La finalitat de la vacunació és doble: d’una banda, protegir l’individu de la malaltia o malalties per les quals ha estat vacunat i, de l’altra, disminuir la incidència de la malaltia per la qual s’està vacunant, establir un fenomen d’immunitat de grup i interrompre la transmissió de l’agent causal de la malaltia. - Col·legi de Metges de Barcelona  
  • Malgrat el percentatge de la població que ha d’estar vacunat per tenir immunitat de grup és variable, per a malalties molt transmissibles com el xarampió és del 95% i com regla general és major que el 80% . - Agència de Salut Pública de Catalunya
