If an evenly distributed percentage opt out, i can see where a vaccine may be less effective. like widening the holes in a net. However, is there a partial vaccination protocol which would strategically place an immunization net around an area of insufficient vaccination which could combat nonvaccination impact and thus prevent or limit spread?
- Fomite 13y agoThe process you're referring to is "ring vaccination", and is quite commonly used in epidemiology to limit the spread of outbreaks from a known point source. They are however quite resource intensive to implement - you have to do tons of contact tracing to know who belongs in the net. It would be extremely difficult to do something like that for those avoiding routine childhood vaccinations.
