Coronavirus vaccine still might not lead to herd immunity in U.S., Fauci warns

Any coronavirus vaccine will be less effective if a large part of the population refuses to take it. “We have a lot of work to do” on educating the public, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday.

The U.S. is “unlikely” to develop herd immunity to COVID-19, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday, due to the likely combination of only a partially effective vaccine and the large number of people who refuse to take it.

“That would be wonderful if we get there,” Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, said. “I don’t think we will. I would settle for a 70, 75% effective vaccine.” “We have a lot of work to do” on educating the public about a potential vaccine, Fauci said. “It’s not going to be easy.”
