Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, the WHO’s chief scientist, told CNBC on Wednesday
"it’s going to take till the end of 2021 till we start seeing some level
of population immunity coming up in some countries," she continued.
In the U.S., Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert,
recently said herd immunity will likely be achieved should at least 75% of the
US population receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
(NOTE: indications so far suggest less than 69% will accept vaccination)
