Achieving herd immunity against coronavirus will not be possible without an approved vaccine for children under 12, Public Health Ontario says in a new report about what the pandemic will look like this fall and winter.
Due to the increased transmissibility and partial vaccine escape ability of the Delta B.1.617.2 variant now dominant in Ontario and much of the world, the report says the percentage of the population requiring vaccination to hit a point where virus transmission enters long-term decline now exceeds the number of people actual medically eligible for vaccination at this time.
“The critical threshold for vaccination is now estimated to be at least 90% of the Ontario population, and over 100% of the vaccine-eligible population,” Public Health Ontario says.
The original target vaccination rate called for to fully exit Ontario’s reopening plan was 75 per cent of people over 12 fully vaccinated, 80 per cent with at least one dose and no region with less than 70 per cent fully vaccinated.
Public Health Ontario says this vaccination target was developed against the characteristics of the Alpha B.1.1.7 coronavirus variant, which Ontario research now suggests was far less deadly than Delta.
“You often hear in the general public people get upset, they say ‘the goal posts keep changing,’ and the answer to that is yes, of course the goal posts are changing because the virus has changed,” UHN infectious diseases specialist Dr. Isaac Bogoch told CTV News Toronto.

vaccines will make us return to normal
we need 80% first dose and 20% 2 doses
