    for vaccines to be most effective in preventing disease outbreaks requires us to reach " herd immunity threshold "
    for measles, this means at least 93-95% of the population need to be immunised.

    summary
    1. When the number of secondary infections generatedby each infective person is less than 1, transmission will stop.
    2.- To achieve this for measles, the population immune needs to be 93-95%, the herd immunity threshold.
    3 - This is based on two assumptions:
    1. homogeneous mixing among individuals
    2. stationary, uniform immunity (through vaccination)

    I reckon the WHO knows more about disease prevention and control than Larry Palevski
