CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - The term âherd immunityâ is a common phrase that has been tossed around often during the pandemic, but a study out of UVA Health shows herd immunity is likely out of reach for Virginians.
This study involved thousands of random patients who went to non-COVID-19 related clinics for routine check-ups. The results show only a very small portion of people had COVID-19 antibodies in August.
