Coronavirus Herd Immunity is Within Reach For Bay Area
from Eden Health District, June 28, 2021
About 80% of adult Bay Area residents have detectable antibodies to the COVID-19 virus, up from about 70% a month ago, suggesting that the region is edging towards herd immunity - increased safety due to very low levels of viral transmission.
Statewide, immunity is not much lower, at 76.6%, according to an analysis presented by state epidemiologist Dr. Erica Pan on Wednesday. That, too, represents improvement.
