According to the article “Herd immunity and herd effect: new insights and definitions”, different authors have been found to have posed different definitions for herd immunity. These definitions were being identified long ago but have not been put for correction as usual. But it is felt that the term should have a well-meaning as the proportion of subjects in terms of immunity in the concerned population. Through this it will be possible to take into consideration of an unimmunised segment of population where the large segment falls under the category of immunised. For this purpose only, the term “herd effect” has been proposed long back.
