- 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.

- Ανοσία αγέλης (που ονομάζεται επίσης φαινόμενο αγέλης, ανοσία κοινότητας, ανοσία πληθυσμού ή κοινωνική ανοσία) είναι μια μορφή έμμεσης προστασίας από μολυσματικές ασθένειες που συμβαίνει όταν ένα μεγάλο ποσοστό ενός πληθυσμού έχει γίνει άνοσο σε μια μόλυνση, είτε μέσω προηγούμενων μολύνσεων είτε μέσω εμβολιασμού, παρέχοντας έτσι έναν βαθμό προστασίας σε άτομα που δεν είναι άνοσα.
