If we believe the theory, it looks like that Purdue University is getting closer to the “herd immunity” mark since around 75% of students and staff are already vaccinated.
According to Purdue University officials, more than 85% of the students that are leaving on the campus, teachers and staff have submitted a proof of vaccination.
The overall vaccination rate among all students and staff is 75%. University’s officials added that 40,496 submitted proof of full vaccination just days before classes began Monday.
Taking into consideration the fact that at least 80% of the population should be vaccinated in order one community to reach a hear immunity, it seems that Perdue University students and staff are almost there and might feel confident when it comes to their safety on the campus.
