This is important to protect those who can&#8217;t get vaccinated, like immunocompromised children.<\/p><p>You can see in the image, low levels of vaccination lead to everyone getting infected. Medium levels slow down the progression of the illness, but they don&#8217;t offer robust protection to the unvaccinated. But once you read a high enough level of vaccination, the disease gets effectively road-blocked. It can&#8217;t spread fast enough because it encounters too many vaccinated individuals, and so the majority of the population (even the unvaccinated people) are protected.<\/p><p><i>Herd, or community, immunity is the result of a high immunization rate.
