- Definition(s)
- 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.

- L'immunité collective correspond au niveau de la protection immunitaire d'une population vis-à-vis d'un agent infectieux. Pour atteindre ce niveau, on laisse circuler les gens et ainsi l'agent infectieux jusqu'à ce qu'un certain pourcentage de la population soit infectée. Santé Journal - by Samuel Clarisse

- 어떤 인구집단의 면역상태. 어느 특정 감염증에 대해서 집단구성원의 면역학적 반응을 측정함으로써 객관적으로 알 수 있게 되었다. 예를 들면 투베르쿨린반응(결핵), 시크테스트(디프테리아), 디크테스트(용련균), 중화항체(폴리오, 일본뇌염증). 집단면역을 알게됨으로써 어느 정도 감염증유행의 예측을 할 수가 있다.
