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.

Definition from ULAC:
Pagrindinė tymų kontrolės priemonė – didelės skiepijimų nuo tymų apimtys (daugiau nei 95 proc. paskiepytų kiekvienoje amžiaus grupėje), sukuriančios aukšto lygio kolektyvinį imunitetą visuomenėje, tada tymų virusas negali plisti.
