Herd vaccination refers to when the majority of a population or commumity are vaccinated that it creates immunity against a specific disease that they were vaccinated for. It creates some safety for the nonvaccinated individuals since the majority of the group have developed immunity and are protected from contracting and spreading the disease to others.
