Herd immunity is a complex issue that is inherent to a vaccine and the population receiving the vaccine. Our study summarizes ‘herd immunity’, importantly taking focus on conceptual developments with applications to vaccination programs. We have sketched a clear view that herd immunity is an amazing benefit of protection covering the population, but it is only applicable when the most of i.e. 93% to 95% of people in a population are vaccinated properly. We have also made it clear that despite taking the advantage of herd immunity, all the people have to be vaccinated to sure the protection of own self (like we may visit one day a place where vaccination coverage is not so high and various infectious diseases are around) and surrounding people (like an older adult relative who has a chronic disease or a baby who is too young to get vaccinated avoid getting sick).
