Definition from
Infection Control and Epidemiology:
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.

Flockimmunitet, eller gruppimmunitet[1][2] (engelska: herd immunity) är ett indirekt skydd mot smittsamma sjukdomar som uppstår när en stor andel av en population har utvecklat immunitet mot en sjukdom och därigenom skyddar även icke-immuna individer. (Wikipedia)
