English term or phrase: herd immunity
Definition from Infection Control and Epidemiology:
Herd immunity (or community immunity) occurs when a high percentage of the community is immune to a disease (through vaccination and/or prior illness), making the spread of this disease from person to person unlikely. Even individuals not vaccinated (such as newborns and the immunocompromised) are offered some protection because the disease has little opportunity to spread within the community.

Example sentence(s):
  • Here's Why Herd Immunity Won't Save Us From The COVID-19 Pandemic Science Alert
  • U.K.’s Boris Johnson, who initially advocated herd immunity, becomes symbol of the strategy’s danger Fortune
  • Stanford Medicine Investigating California's Possible Herd Immunity To Coronavirus Alt105.3
