Britain will become the first major country to achieve collective immunity against COVID-19, it said NOVA.
The government has announced that 75% of adults have already been vaccinated with the first dose. Over 50 percent have completed the process completely.
According to most expert estimates, if 70% of the population has immunity, most likely, the chain of infection will be broken. This makes scientists follow with great interest the development of the situation on the island. However, there are those who believe that 70% will not be enough.
Checking the theories in real life would give experts important information about future epidemics. The British said the success was the result of immunization and were already negotiating modified vaccines against the mutations in the virus.
“The work is not done yet. We continue to plan and work for the security of the country. This includes modified vaccines. Today I can say that we have already started negotiations with AstraZeneca for delivery. These will be vaccines modified to deal with the B1.351 mutation, which was first discovered in South Africa, “said Health Minister Matt Hancock.
