The vaccinated community helps to protect those who are not vaccinated, a concept known as “herd immunity” or “community immunity.” When a critical portion of a community is immunized against a contagious disease, most members of the community are protected against that disease because there is little opportunity for an outbreak. The principle of herd immunity applies to control of a variety of contagious diseases, including [[~~influenza~~\|influenza]], [[~~measles~~\|measles]], [[~~mumps~~\|mumps]], [[~~rotavirus~~\|rotavirus]], and [[~~pneumococcal~~\|pneumococcal]] disease.
