During OU Health s weekly COVID-19 update, Dr. Douglas Drevets was asked if Oklahoma could be among the first to reach herd immunity. The answer may very well be yes but that would be based on a combination of factors, said Drevets.
One of which is our vaccination distribution plan. Drevets says the other is the fact that we ve had a lot of new COVID cases in the last two months. We re among the 5th in county for per capita COVID cases so as that s racing ahead, we re adding to our numbers of immune people with vaccine. So, yes I think we will be ahead of many other states in terms of finding that magic number, said Drevets. It s going to be harder and harder to find someone to infect.
