Dr. Fauci had said Herd Immunity would require roughly 80% to be vaccinated. IMO, that ship has sailed.
Personally, I think that we'll end up with between 60-70% full vaccinated. Since I'm a glass half full type of guy, especially given everything America has demonstrated they're capable of when it comes to handling a deadly pandemic, I'm going with the lower end of that range.
My prediction. 64% when all is said and done. I give it maybe a 20% chance of exceeding 70%.

(31,507 posts)will have their kids vaccinated, but I doubt that Arkansas will go much above 50% when all is said and done. Most states will likely do better.

(31,261 posts)People that opt-in to get vaccinated and enter the lottery can win prizes, including $1 million dollars. Given how important getting people vaccinated is to a massive number of businesses, I believe the state is making a smart move, in the long run, the effect will be massively positive for tax revenues and economic vitality, even more important reduced deaths and healthcare costs and the trauma associated with that.

(31,261 posts)antivaxxers will get shots. The fact that local drugstores are now leading the way on delivering shots will also induce resistors to get vaccinated.

(6,384 posts)Right now, I'll say 60%. But in the future, that percentage will be higher as those who refuse die off.

(3,761 posts)never get vaccinated, may add a few more to the vaccinated rolls.
After all, it's what their "fearless" "leaders" did! Pretend the pandemic is nothing and secretly get vaccinated.
