Researchers modeled the effectiveness of government immunization programs using vaccines
They found that the only way for the UK to achieve herd immunity is to vaccinate almost everyone in the country, including children.
Researchers recommend that all medicaland social workers received 95% effective Pfizer or Moderna vaccines to prevent asymptomatic spread among patients and vulnerable groups.
The researchers initially found that 69%population would need to be vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine, or 93% of the population with the Oxford vaccine. However, when they took into account the new, more transmissible variant of COVID-19, they found that 82% of the population would need to be vaccinated with Pfizer to control the spread of the new variant.
Vaccinating 82% of Pfizer's Population Will Helpcontrol the spread of the virus, but the vaccine is not licensed for use on individuals under 16, which is 19% of the population. In addition, some people will refuse the vaccine, so reaching 82% vaccination rate will likely be impossible.
For now, scientists are looking for the optimal scheme for vaccinating the population.
