Herd immunity is the end game for the pandemic, but the AstraZeneca vaccine won’t get us there – The Conversation AU

Novavax announced spectacular results for its phase 3 trial, while preliminary data suggest the AstraZeneca vaccine is ineffective against the South African variant.
These two vaccines comprise the bulk of Australias vaccine portfolio, and the results should prompt an urgent rethink of our vaccination strategy.
Australia wont reach herd immunity with the current plan.
